Multiple Galleries in Slideshow

I would like to have categories of photos in my gallery page a user could click on so as not to have to view 200 photos in one slideshow. Can this be done?
This is for a photography website.
thanks,
chris

I understand you would not like to have too many images in one slide show and would like to categorize them instead.
The easiest way to achieve something like this would be by using multiple Lightbox slide shows for the purpose as indicated in the picture below where each slide show on the page can act as an Image Catalog for your gallery page. You can disable the "Show lighbox parts while editing" option so that you are able to re-arrange the triggers easily in alignment with the other slide show triggers. Now when you preview the page in browser, it should give you a similar feel as if they are different categories with distinct titles/headings.
Thanks,
Vinayak

Dreamweaver simpleviewer multiple galleries button links help

I am trying to do this:
http://www.airtightinteractive.com/simpleviewer/examples/multiple_galleries/gallery1/index .html
and here is another good example
http://www.designhousestudios.co.uk/sampleportfoliogallery/sampleportfolio.html
on my page here:
http://peachtree-designs.com/
This seems to be the code that pertains to the different slideshows (this is from the example webpage of how I want it to be):
<div id="header" >
<a href = "../gallery1/index.html">Gallery 1</a> | <a href = "../gallery2/index.html">Gallery 2</a>
</div>
<div id="flashcontent">SimpleViewer requires JavaScript and the Flash Player. <a href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer/">Get Flash.</a></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
The "Simple" Viewer slideshow gives instructions on how to simply embed and I have done that successfully, a link is here in case you want to check it out:
http://www.airtightinteractive.com/simpleviewer/examples/embedded/
I have this working fine but would like to embed several galleries. The instruction page of "simple"viewer says to create multiple galleries you just need to:
" ...To create multiple SimpleViewer galleries, make a copy of the whole SimpleViewer gallery folder for each gallery. Create your individual galleries as normal. You can now create a menu page that links to the index.html page in each sub-folder. Here is an example that contains a menu to navigate between 2 SimpleViewer galleries."
My confusion lies in what the heck a menu page is. I have ignored this all together and tried looking at the code from pages that give examples. especially the page that gives a download of html.
But I don't understand how to link the buttons in Dreamweaver to create different slideshows. I've put the four slideshow folders (print, illustration, logo, design) into my main HTML page. I assume the solution is to put the code mentioned above in for each slideshow/gallery .. reference each gallery by my folders names but then somehow make the DW buttons link to those folders.
I'll keep poking around at this and see if I can figure it out, but any input, advice or help would be SO very appreciated. If you would speak in laymans terms I'd appreciate it, I know flash well but am new to dreamweaver and not very good at codeing though I manage.
Thanks so much in advance, sorry this is so long winded.

I'm actually still having a problem with the individual galleries linking to the swf. Here's an explination and I'm attaching a snapshot of the file folder structure and the html's:
Thanks for responding :) I feel like I'm almost there, been struggling with this for a week.
my site is here:
http://peachtree-designs.com/web.html
I am going with a different approach, instead of trying to link the graphics from within each gallery folder I am instead placing each gallery html outside the individual gallery folders in my root folder ... then trying to link the main html page to each html gallery file, and have each gallery file link/see the swf galleries within the folders.
I have made separate gallery folders for each gallery, print, logo ect is in it's separate folder in the root folder of my website.
In the main root folder I have the index.html *plus* I've put each galleries html file *outside* it's folder but directly in the root folder, so the main html webpage file can link (with the buttons) to each gallery html in the root folder.
Problem is getting the galleries html's to connect/link to the swf gallery in each gallery folder (within the root folder) (I'd put the html's directly in it's gallery folder but then the graphics links break). "gallery not found" is what I get and I'm not sure how to do this. In the code of each gallery html is this:
<td valign="top"><script type="text/javascript">
var fo = new SWFObject("illustrations/viewer.swf", "viewer", "500", "500", "8", "#c5bdb2");
fo.write("flashcontent");
</script></td>
so the gallery html's in the root folder *should* be directed to each swf in it's gallery folder: illustrations/viewer.swf .. print/viewer.swf ... etc ... but it's not working.
I'm going to try to just attach my whole site in case someone can take a look and tell me what's wrong. It's large but I'm desperate and it's hard to explain.

Can I use the "same" button multiple times for multiple galleries?

OK so I am extremely untrained in CS4 and Actionscript. However I have managed to get along fairly well until I started to dynamically upload images as a gallery. This works great if I have one gallery, but for my site I have 9 galleries!!! I have a back and next button, but I want to be able to use those same buttons for all of the galleries so they look the same. I have split them up and renamed them, but I am clueless on how to script the buttons to work. Please help...and don't laugh at my poor scripting. This is what I have now because I do not know where to put the other button names without getting errors.
stop();
next_btn .addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextImage);
var imageNumber: Number=1;
function checkNumber(): void{
    next_btn.visible=true;
    back_btn.visible=true;
    if(imageNumber==15){
        trace(imageNumber);
    next_btn.visible=false;
    if(imageNumber==1){
        trace(imageNumber);
    back_btn.visible=false;
function nextImage(evtObj:MouseEvent):void {
    imageNumber++;
    mc_engagement.source= "photo/engagement/en0"+imageNumber+".jpg";
    mc_amish.source= "photo/amish/Amish"+imageNumber+".jpg";
    mc_chicago.source= "photo/chicago/ch"+imageNumber+".jpg";
    mc_landscapes.source= "photo/landscapes/land"+imageNumber+".jpg";
    mc_goodvsevil.source= "photo/goodvsevil/ge"+imageNumber+".png";
    mc_animals.source= "design/animals/an"+imageNumber+".png";
    mc_icons.source= "design/icons/icon0"+imageNumber+".png";
    mc_objects.source= "design/objects/pc"+imageNumber+".png";
    mc_typography.source= "design/typography/type"+imageNumber+".png";
    checkNumber();
back_btn .addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, backImage);
function backImage(evtObj:MouseEvent):void {
    imageNumber--;
    mc_engagement.source= "photo/engagement/en0"+imageNumber+".jpg";
    mc_amish.source= "photo/amish/Amish"+imageNumber+".jpg";
    mc_chicago.source= "photo/chicago/ch"+imageNumber+".jpg";
    mc_landscapes.source= "photo/landscapes/land"+imageNumber+".jpg";
    mc_goodvsevil.source= "photo/goodvsevil/ge"+imageNumber+".png";
    mc_animals.source= "design/animals/an"+imageNumber+".png";
    mc_icons.source= "design/icons/icon0"+imageNumber+".png";
    mc_objects.source= "design/objects/pc"+imageNumber+".png";
    mc_typography.source= "design/typography/type"+imageNumber+".png";
    checkNumber();

I'm still a novice with Flash myself, but I have two comments.
First, at this point, won't your buttons control all galleries at the same time? Which means, if I go to image 5 in one gallery, then move to another gallery, I'll start at image 5, because the actions are all connected.
Second, you can definitely use the same buttons for multiple galleries. It seems to me that as long as you've assigned the buttons an instance name, these actions should already work to control all the galleries (see the note above). I guess I would need to understand a bit more about how your project is built.

Trying to post multiple galleries

I'm using iphoto 08 and I would like to do the following:
1. have multiple galleries with their own user names and pw. For example, three galleries for Japanese Trip and two galleries for Ski Trip. For those people invited to the Japanese Trip galleries, they should be able to see all three sets, but not the Ski Trip sets. Is there anyway to do this if I only have one .mac account?
2. I would like to be able to publish some of my galleries to a different server (my own domain name - not .mac) Is that possible?
Thanks,
peter

Sort of - Not what you request where a password controls which galleries people see but you can "hide" a gallery - gallery settings ==> advanced ==> "hide album on my web gallery page" - then people will need the exact URP to see it
Hide controld seeing or not seeing a gallery
Password controls accessing or not accessing a gallery - there is not way to make "sets" of galleries - each stands alone in each of the attributes.
2. I would like to be able to publish some of my galleries to a different server (my own domain name - not .mac) Is that possible?
Not as web galleries - you can post iWeb pages and there are third party web layouts but much of the Web Gallery is server side controlled and you can only access it via .Mac

Multiple Galleries

I would like to give my app user multiple galleries from which they can choose a background for a screen,
how can I achieve this?

Hi Joel,
There are two ways you could look at this, either:
1) You could leverage the same technique that we suggested
here for a similar question you asked. The question was about shapes, but the same learnings will apply to the
'Fill' of the Canvas Screen.
OR
2) If you have to leverage galleries, then you could do the following:
- Drop a Custom Gallery, called Gallery1
- Set its 'Data' property to the list of colours you intend to expose i.e ["Red", "Blue", "Green"]
- Then Add a Label visual to Gallery1, called Label1. You will have to re-adjust the size of the label so it fits nicely into
Gallery1
- Set Label1's 'Fill' property to ColorValue(ThisItem!Value). Now you should notice that each item in
Gallery1 has a different colour
- Proceed to set the 'Fill' property of the Canvas Screen to
ColorValue(Gallery1!Selected!Label1!Text)
Now when you select an item with Gallery1, the Canvas Screen should also change to match that colour.
Hope this helps.

How can I put a selected picture in multiple places in slideshow

There is a slideshow with 50 pics. I want to use one of these pics in several places, in the front, middle, middle end and then the end.
How can I place this pic in multiple locations in the slideshow
redundently stated I know

Dah!!!
Thanks so much,
I was unaware of that feature, it works.

Single Thumbnail activate multiple page(image) slideshow?

I want to be able to have a single thumbnail from a lightbox slideshow visible on a webpage. That when clicked activates a slideshow with multiple images...not mulitple images on a single page like in the tutorial where the social network icons pop up, but rather that triggers an independent multipage slideshow.
Whenever I add an image it adds a thumbnail. I want one thumbnail to be seen for a 7 image slideshow. I can't figure out how to do this with the triggers. The tutorial also doesn't seem to address this.
Right now what I'm doing is creating a lightbox slideshow, turning all the thumbnails in all states transparent, then hiding the collection of thumbnails behind an image (the image being the single thumbnail I want displayed) but this is getting cumbersome with some many transparent lightboxes next to each other.
Is there a easier way. Its for a portfolio site, and each thumbnail should trigger a new project slideshow.

I am having the exact same issue as englishm87. I would like to have a portfolio page with a grid of theumbnails. Each thumbnail will then trigger the multipage slideshow. There is an example on the Adobe Muse website here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/muse/eliana-t-stein.html
I don't quite understand how you can nest the composition widget with the slideshow widget...
Could you provide more of a step by step answer?
Thanks!

Multiple captions in Slideshow

Hi, Is there a way to create more captions in the lightbox-slideshow widget? I'd love to have two per image, but when i try to add a textframe it would go "in" the slideshow, it just stand loose on the page. Also i can't copy the one caption and past that one inside the slideshow. The whole slideshow gets copied...
Can anyone help?
thanks in advance, bart

I understand you would not like to have too many images in one slide show and would like to categorize them instead.

Using multiple transitions in slideshow

Is there a way to use multiple transitions when creating a slideshow in idvd?

Hi
I don't think so.
AND - there are one very important thing with transitions and SlideShow in iDVD. They degrade the sharpness on the full DVD SlideShow. So avoiding them results in a far better DVD.
I assemble mySlideShows in iMovie HD6 (not iM'08 or 09 or 11 - as quality severely dropps) and here I'm free
to use any transition and can time it to the audio/music much better.
From here I DO NOT use Share to iDVD - but just close iMovie HD6 and import the movie project (icon with a Star on it) into iDVD - just to prevent iMovie to render (this also degrade the end result)

Managing Multiple Galleries (i.e. multiple MobileMe accounts)

I have a family MobileMe account and wish to manage some of the family members' galleries from iPhoto. I know that I can have multiple iPhoto libraries if necessary, but have not been able to figure out how to manage multiple MobileMe accounts (and their galleries) via iPhoto. Any tips?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The best approach to managing multiple MMe accounts on one Mac is to have multiple User account on that Mac, one for each MMe account. That also would require multiple libraries unless you will have all of the photos in one. If that's the case you can move the library to the Shared folder and access it there from each account.
In each account log into the appropriate MMe account via the System/MobileMe preference pane. Then enable fast user switching via the System/Accounts pane to make it easy to switch user account.

Multiple Galleries, Multiple .mac

I would like to create Web Galleries using two different .mac accounts. Is it possible to do that with iPhoto? Is it possible for iPhoto to upload photos using two different .mac accounts?
For example, I would like to have a Web Gallery for "personal" photos and another Gallery for "business." If I set up two .mac accounts using the Family Pack, is there a way for me to select in iPhoto where my photos will upload to?
(Hope this makes sense)

Chris:
Yes it is possible but I suggest you create a separate library for each account's web galleries. That's because if you have all the galleries in one library and try to publish all will be published. Also if you create a second account on your Mac for publishing to the second .Mac account you wouldn't have to go to the System/.Mac preferences and change your login information in order to change .Mac accounts. Just enable fast switching to go between your two accounts on the Mac.
iPhoto Library Manager can be used to copy albums between libraries so you can move the albums for the 2nd .Mac account galleries from your primary library to the other library.
It can be done from only one account on your Mac but entails lots of .Mac account switching in the System Preferences.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Adding multiple 100% width slideshows to the top of a page and using triggers to select. Is it possible???

Hi!
I am looking to create a changeable slideshow at the top of a webpage. I want to be able to select different slideshows to view at the top of the page and use triggers/buttons to select the relevant slideshow. This is for a catering site, so I would like that if the user clicks 'canapes' button the slideshow images at the top of the page will show canapes and the caption will show text about them, if they select the 'cocktails' button then a new slideshow will appear showing images of cocktails together with a relevant caption.
I thought this might be possible by placing slideshows within a lightbox or composition widget but seem to be banging my head against the wall! Can someone help?
Is it possible?
If yes, is there a youtube video to show how its done?
Any help much appreciated.
Martin

Is it possible? Yes... I wouldn't do it because having all those images sitting on the one (first) page will slow the page loading times down and just piss people off but thats your main answeer.
The compositions widgets allow you to build more complex ideas and is what I'd use to make this sort of thing in Muse...
p.s. if you just want something fast then have a look at what some people have already made to get ideas;
1. Templates – MuseLayers
2. iChef | Culinary Arts Adobe Muse Template | museGrid.com

Connecting multiple album or slideshows in IPhoto 6

I am putting together a large slideshow. In order to organize it better, I've made a number of smaller albums containing parts of the show. Is there any way to link these albums (or slideshows made from them) into one large slideshow that would then show continuously? Or do I have to manually make one very large album, and then make the show? I tried Automator and it didn't seem to do the trick. Making a movie ruined the resolution.

There is no way to join Slideshows. What might work is to export them as QuickTIme Movies (File -> Export) and then join the movies using Quicktime Pro.
Other than that you'll need one big album.

Burning multiple copies of slideshows

I made a great slideshow of wedding pictures but it takes forever to burn each disc because the program makes a new .wmv file each time. Is there a better way to do this? I tried saving the .wmv file but it didn't seem to make a difference. Each time I select 'burn a vcd' the process seems to start from the beginning.

If you use ULead Movie Factory 5, it will take around 4 to 5 minutes AFTER the first copy.
Place the wmv file in the add video section.
Select no menu's if you want.
The first build will take awhile.
After you burn the dvd,
choose to return to the finish page.
Add a blank disc, and click on burn again.
I had a slide show that took around 2 hours for
Photoshop to create wmv file (200 pictures with a lot of panning and zooming) about 15 seconds per slide.
The Movie Factory 5 took awhile also if I remember correctly
to redo the wmv to vob conversion.
BUT...the reburns were around 4 minutes 37 seconds.
I believe the free trial download gives you every thing.

Multiples galleries linked to and from one page

This is pretty basic need for photographers trying to show shoots to clients.
I have multiple shoots associated with one job for one client. Can anyone ( ahem Apple guys) put a feature into the Aperture Web Gallery workflow that will put an index page for all the different parts of one job?
G5 dual 2 Mac OS X (10.4.7) Apertue 1.1.2

Hello, Larry
Quote: "I have multiple shoots associated with one job for one client. Can anyone ( ahem Apple guys) put a feature into the Aperture Web Gallery workflow that will put an index page for all the different parts of one job?"
If I understand you correctly, you want different Index.htmls for the different shoots you did for the client? So, one index.html for one shoot which multiple photos? Another, index.html for a different shoot but the same client? But all in location in one site?
If so, Aperture rocks doing this now since version 1.
I do this using the Web Journal (and not the Web Gallery) feature in Aperture which will make different index.htmls for different days, shoots, whatever.
Here is an example:
Multiple shoots and multiple indexes but only one site.
As you can see there are 3 different index.htmls, and each with it's own set of photographs with watermarks which can be clicked on to enlarge.
You can rename each index according to your shoots, watermark them and upload them for the client to see at his or her leisure.
love & peace,
victor
