Make CS4 Bridge flash web galleries customizable

A few of the flash web galleries allow the addition of metadata. But you can not select the content. I need to be able to add the "description" to my images. This is a simple but vital function that was easily available in the older HTML galleries.
Please add it to the flash-based galleries!

They stripped it from the token HTML gallery as well. Everyone seems to agree that the few web galleries included have been dumbed down and it does not seem to allow for third party galleries.

  • Auto fill subject with an Email link in CS4 Bridge flash web gallery

    Is there a way to autofill the subject line of the email link in the CS4 Bridge flab web galleries? I can do it if I use the html gallery, but I prefer the look of the flash galleries.
    If I open the "group.xml" file I see code for me email link, exp.:  <contactEmail>maillto:[email protected]</contactEmail>
    I tried adding the "?subject=My Subject" like I would on an html file but that didn't work. I was hoping for some suggestions.
    Thanks!

    I want it to work on the click of a mouse: when I run or test the page the email comes up immediately. Here is what I have so far:
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest("mailto:mailto:[email protected]?subject=yoursubject&body=your message"));
    /* Mouse Click Event
    Clicking on the specified symbol instance executes a function in which you can add your own custom code.
    Instructions:
    1. Add your custom code on a new line after the line that says "// Start your custom code" below.
    The code will execute when the symbol instance is clicked.
    button_3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_MouseClickHandler_6);
    function fl_MouseClickHandler_6(event:MouseEvent):void
         // Start your custom code
         // This example code displays the words "Mouse clicked" in the Output panel.
         trace("Mouse clicked");
         // End your custom code
    So how do I get the email to open ONLY when the mouse clicks on the link??

  • CS4 Bridge and Web Galleries

    This is probably nit-picking, but I liked a web gallery which I have been using on a site which has about 13 galleries on it. The choices for web galleries in CS4 are OK, but when I checked the file size on a web gallery in CS4 with an identical one I did with CS3, the size was about 5 times as large.
    Since I have upgraded to CS4, the old CS3 Bridge isn't available (to my knowledge) and I had to move all the photos from Bridge in CS4 to a folder so I could access the web gallery from CS3.
    Tell me if there is an easier way to use the old web gallery directly from CS4 or a way to access the old Bridge from CS3?

    Hi all<br />It is still possible to create webgalleries and contactsheets in CS4, but you have to copy some files and folders from a folder called Goodies which you can find on you install disk or download as extras from Adobe.com. <br />In the "...Goodies\Optional plug-ins" folder there is a OptionalPluginsReadMe.pdf where they among other things write:<br /><br />"1. From the Photoshop CS4 install disc, drop the //<language>/Goodies/Optional plug-<br />Ins/Automate/WebContactSheetII plug-in into the //Adobe Photoshop CS4/Plugins/<br />Automate folder<br /><br />2. From the Photoshop CS4 install disc, drop the //<language>/Goodies/Presets/Web Photo<br />Gallery folder into the //Adobe Photoshop CS4/Presets folder and then restart Photoshop."

  • Help: Controlling transitions in flash web galleries from CS4/Bridge

    Hi all,
    Is there a way to control the transitions from one image to the next when generating a flash web gallery? I'm using CS4/Bridge on WinXP.
    The fade out/in from one image to the next is very chunky, no matter what the file size.  And that's on my local copy before I've uploaded it to the web.
    I also haven't found a way to generate web galleries from within CS4 itself (looked at file/automate, as well as window/output, but nothing obvious in either location).
    Many thanks for your help!
    j

    Your procedures are correct. The pertinent features have been moved from PS to Bridge. You can use the old method by finding the respective scripts on your install DVD's Extras section (or downloading them). Regarding transition performance and speed I don't think you can do anything. that is solely determined by the Flash template used for that and if you have no way of creating your own ones, there doesn't seem much point in even worrying about things you may not be able to change. Use it or loose it, if you allow me to put it that way. You can however certainly find enough other gallery tools on the web, they may just require you to change your approach and learn some basic web design stuff...

  • Index file missing from flash web galleries

    Hi All,
    I usually make a flash web gallery for my clients to view and select from online. For some reason now I can't get the web module to work correctly. It is acting a little funny from the start but mainly when I export it creates the file without the index file in it. I have version 1.4.1 and 2 beta. The problem is the same in each.
    I am on a Mac Pro quad core 2.8GHz with 6GB ram and two hard drives with lots of free space. I hope that is relevant.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Sincerely,

  • Thumbnail Captions for Flash Web Galleries

    Oh I do love Lightroom!
    However... :)
    My clients occasionally are going to be wanting to refer to a certain image number and I would love to have a Lightroom Flash Web Template that included the file name near the thumbnails for reference. Anyone know how I might do this? Take it slow, I am a noob with the coding and whatnot.
    Thanks!

    Erik,
    I have the same question/problem. I do need the second link or ability to enlarge one of the posed image. Have you found the answer?

  • Bridge flash web gallery does not take crop data

    Hello,
    I have been using bridge and Photoshop for many years and made many flash galleries. Lately, using CS5 I have noticed that in some cases, the crop and image adjustments information entered in bridge/photoRaw  is not taken into account when make the Flash gallery. Whay is interesting is that the keywods are read correctly, also, in Lightroom, the crop information is read correctly for the same directory.
    Has anyone seen that ? Any setting that I'm missing?
    Thanks
    Vincent

    I am not sure to know where I can do this ...
    is it this ?: I selected all images
    unfortunatly result is the same ...

  • Web link for id plate for flash web galleries

    I've created a number of html galleries, where you have the ability to make your id plate a link- very useful as this can link back to a main page with links to other galleries. This is pretty straightforward for HTML:
    My problem, however, is that the flash galleries do not have this option for some reason! I don't see a way to make the id plate into a link for flash galleries under the web export...
    I don't even mind going back after exporting to my local computer and adding in a link... but I am not proficent with flash, and don't know where to add it.... the index.html that is created as the home page of the web gallery didn't include anything I could edit... I guess flash buries things a bit and its harder to edit it manually....
    Any help in allowing a link to be made from the id plate for flash galleries would be greatly appreciated...
    thanks,
    Erik

  • LR3 64 Bit - Not loading Flash Web Galleries

    I recently upgraded to Win7 64bit and bought the 64bit version of LR3.
    Unfortunately, LR won't load any flash galleries and just gives me a blank screen without any preview.
    Screenshot:
    http://www.andyhuddartphotography.co.uk/Misc/screenshot.jpg
    I've got the latest version of Flash running although it must be said not without its problems; anyone else having LR and Flash related Win 7 issues?
    I'm not having any speed issues in other modules and my catalogue from LR2 moved across fine so I'm one of the lucky ones so far...

    I am having the same problem... running LR3 64 bit, Win 7, 24 gigs memory, but when I try to preview a flash gallery, the screen stays blank.
    The only way I can preview the flash gallery is to preview it in the browser.
    Any solutions out there?
    Thanks!

  • Posting multiple Lightroom flash web galleries

    I am trying to create multiple Lightroom galleries for my web
    page, but i keep getting the same set of images in the different
    galleries. I am using Frontpage 2003 and would like to know if there is
    something I need to do to direct the hyperlinks to the different
    galleries and image sets.

    This problem most likely wont happen when it is running off of a server.
    So upload it to your server and test it, but it should be fine.

  • Flash web galleries which do not resize photos

    Are there any? The ones that come with LR still resize photos in certain window sizes, which, of course, makes them look hideous. Are there any web gallery plugins that totally disable resizing?

    If you go to
    Adobethe TTG HTML and TTG Shadowbox Gallery are more configureable than the Lr HTML Gallery and you can alter the image size.

  • How to customize flash-based web galleries?

    Has anyone here figured out how to customize the CS4 Bridge flash-based web galleries? Specifically, I'd like to be able to add the "description" line from the metadata to an image, without having to add ALL the metadata (as a couple of the galleries allow).
    Seems like such a simple thing. Can't imagine why Adobe didn't add it. It is standard in the older HTML gallery templates.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
    Barring that, does anyone know of a second-party flash photo gallery that allows for information this information to be displayed?

    Flash is not supported on the iPad - and as Adobe have announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.
    Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store.
    If you do a search on this forum you will find hundreds of other threads on the subject.

  • Why do web galleries often appear "digitized"?

    I occasionally find after creating a web gallery that it will appear digitized once viewed online, both on PC desktop and laptop.
    Recent gallery seemed fine on my La Cie monitor but "off" on my HP laptop. I'm wondering if it's a screen resolution mismatch.
    Thoughts?
    CS5; Windows 7 - desktop; Vista - laptop; plenty of RAM, etc.

    Thanks again.

    Subject: Why do web galleries often appear "digitized"?
    OK you using a non color managed Browser. Color space may be an issue I don't see an option to convert to sRGB but that may be the default mode of operation. I don't use the Bridge for creating Web Galleries IMO bridge's output module is very poor. I think Adobe short changed their users by adding it and removing better features from Photoshop. I use Photoshop to generate HTML web galleries. I installed Photoshop Old Photo Web Gallery support to generate customized HTML web Galleries and I use Photoshop scripts to generate Flash Web Galleries.  While the Bridges  upload Web Gallery to web server option seems to be a nice option. I would rather do that as a low priority Background Windows FTP job and be able to use Photoshop during the upload for upload web connectios bandwidth is slow and uploads can be long running.  Adobe really disappointed me when they added the Bridge's output module and removed better features from Photoshop. With the Bridge
    output module you can not customize Web galleries well and its PDF support lacks the abilities of the PDF support they removed from Photoshop and that PDF support can NOT be downloaded from Adobe's web site and installed into Photoshop.  If you need the removed support you have to keep two version of Photoshop installed on you system and forget about getting support for the old version you need to have.  Adobe's support is very poor and they drop support for old version of Photoshop like a hot potato. 

  • Bridge CS4 / Flash Web Gallery

    Hi!
    I'm trying to create a web gallery in Bridge CS4.
    If I save to disk, then it'll run fine locally, but once uploaded it won't any more.
    No idea why. It used to work, and as far as I know, I altered *nothing*.
    Here is one that did work:
    http://www.moonglade.net/~rene/testflash/
    (uploaded using Fetch)
    Here's one that I ftp'd from Bridge. Works as well:
    http://www.moonglade.net/~rene/test
    Here is the exact same gallery as the one above, saved to HDD, then uploaded using Fetch.
    http://www.moonglade.net/~rene/test1/
    Both of the later galleries don't have a folder "bin" created, which the first one did.
    Also weird, is that when I used CyberDuck to upload the "test1" gallery, I got a "403" error when trying to view it...
    HTML galleries work "so so" for me.
    Again: looks fine locally, looks off once uploaded.
    Error 403: http://www.moonglade.net/~rene/testHTML/
    Looks off: http://www.moonglade.net/~rene/testHTMLFetch/
    (strange symbol on the top, when clicked, the images appear off center, and with a dark line above them)
    Again, does look okay when uploaded through Bridge instead of Fetch:
    Works: http://www.moonglade.net/~rene/testHTMLBridge/
    A few other points I have with the web galleries through BridgeCS4: There seems to be no option to watermark, or to convert the images to sRGB? These images are AdobeRGB, with embedded profile, which will look like crap in any non color managed browser. Not ideal, to say the least.
    Also repaired permissions and such. Then restart.
    No help.
    I've tried resetting all prefs for bridge, and even installed the entire CS4 anew.
    No help.
    I'm at a loss here. Might be something simple I'm missing, but I don't see it...
    Guess I'll just have to use LR to build web galleries.
    OSX 10.4.11
    G5 2x2GHz
    5.5Gb Ram
    31Gb free on an 160Gb HDD

    I discovered a way to create a Bridge CS4 gallery that works in all browsers.
    The flash gallery worked great on most browsers - but does not work on the iPhone.  My google analytics show that many people are looking at my site via an iPhone.
    Take 2 was making an .html gallery.  Was able to preview it and it looked great on my computer, but when uploaded to my site the images did not appear, only the names.  This indicated the image files had not uploaded.  I located the "content" folder within the photo gallery and tried uploading it separately, receiving the error that there was an illegal file name so it couldn't be uploaded. 
    Take 3 - looked at the file names in the folder "content" and realized the sub folder name "bin" was probably causing the problem to solve it (it is assumed that you manage your site with Dreamweaver CS4):
    Open Dreamweaver CS4
    Locate the "bin" file in the "files" palatte and select it
    In the drop-down menu in the upper right of the files pallet choose
    >file
    >rename
    >then rename the file, I used "source"
    Dreamweaver will ask you permission to update linked files - say YES
    The gallery will now work on all browsers.

  • Web Galleries in Bridge & CS4

    It appears the templates for Web Galleries in Bridge are different from those in Photoshop CS4.  This seems odd, comments welcome.
    Is there a way to Save a Custom Web Template in either Bridge or Photoshop?  If one creates a Custom Template (in Bridge) with Custom Colors, etc., that same Template will appear if you later create a new Web Gallery.  But once you change the Template you lose the custom colors.  Is there a way around this, i.e. save the custom colors?  Thanks.
