Multiple lightroom flash galleries in website

Ok, I don't have much experience with html, or any at all with flash, just so we're clear.
I'm attempting to link to different lightroom-created flash galleries within my website. The problem is, when I add the first gallery to the remote (using godaddy ftp client) that link works fine. When I upload the second gallery for a different link, I get the first gallery instead of the second. I'm under the assumption that something within the lightroom-flash files needs to be renamed so the link is a different path for the second gallery. (make sense?) The idea is clicking on a thumbnail on a "galleries" page links to the lightroom-created flash gallery I created with those images.
I'm not attempting to add the .swf to an html editor, just straight upload to godaddy. Can anyone tell me what part/parts need to be changed so each gallery works with it's own images?
Thanks!

Shane,
You should put different Flash galleries into different subfolders (subdirectories) of your web site, and link to the "index.html" file within each subfolder from your main page.

Identity Plate TOO SMALL in Lightroom Flash Galleries

In Lightroom Flash Galleries, the size of the Identity Plate is very limited, much smaller than that possible with the HTML Galleries.I've tried reconfiguring the layout,using a different template, using an image for the ID Plate, but the problem persists.
It's a big problem because the Flash Galleries are pretty much useless as is.

Thanks Sean
Kind of harsh I guess. The Flash Galleries are great except my logo (a simple line of text) can only appear as small type (14pt I'd guess), and only justified to the left. This is visually unacceptable for a site that clients, etc. will go to. So I can't use it for what I need. I guess some might be able to use it, but for what I need to do it is effectively useless. Which is too bad because I like the rest of the Lightroom Web experience a lot.

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.

Using Lightroom Flash Galleries in Flash Catalyst

Hi there. I love the ability of Lightroom to create brilliant Flash Galleries especially since there are so many plug-ins out there for the Lightroom Web Module.
My questions is, Is there a way to take the exported Flash Gallery from Lightroom, and use it in Flash Catalyst? In Flash Catalyst I have tried to import the .swf file created by Lightroom but when I try to view the Catalyst project, the gallery doesn't work. I have also tried after the fact to move the remaining files exported by Lightroom into the same folder Catalyst places the .swf file, but still to no avail.
Am I doing something wrong here? I'm not a programmer and have limited knowledge of code, but I'm also a quick learner and would very much like some help finding a solution to this.
If you have any advice, it would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Stef

I'm not familiar with Lightroom in particular, but there is a tutorial on using a similar swf gallery here.
Things to check:
The lightroom files are all in the same location relative to the swf when you move them to your project
If your html page and your Catalyst swf are in different directories, make sure you set the base url
If you're still having trouble, you may want to install the debug player from here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
It can generally show you any problems that pop up. They may not be very human-readable, but if you post them here I bet someone can help you decrypt them.

Multiple Image/Photo Galleries for Website Development

Hi All,
I am just getting into web dev and working on first production site.
One of the requirements is to implement a Photo Gallery which has multiple albums, but is also able to be managed by an end-user (rather than web team update).
Site is currently all html (no server-side tech) so I am hoping someone can recommend an approach.
Cheers
David

Hi
Try using something like this http://jqueryui.com/tabs/ to place each separate gallery in its own div
As for the error, where exactly are you getting that?
Kind Regards,
Alex

Lightroom photo galleries and their swf files

I have a question about using the photo galleries that lightroom exports in flash catalyst. what I'm trying to do is use multiple photo galleries for different states in my flash application (www.negativeselfimage.com is the site). flash catalyst allows you to import as many swfs as you want, but the problem is the gallerydata.xml files, and the images folders, which are different for every gallery I export. I mucked my way around in flash builder to point to custom folders I built, so each swf file is in its own folder with its own materials. however, the swf file seems to be looking for gallerydata.xml in an absolute directory.
my basic question is, how can I get that swf file to either point to a relative path place (it should still be relatively the same) or allow me to change to where it points to?
either that, or -- if this seems like the wrong path -- how can I use multiple lightroom swf galleries in one flash catalyst or flash builder application?
thanks, aemilia

I've the same question... FC is quite nice, but they have to develop more, I think

Embedding Adobe Lightroom 3 Flash Gallery into Website

Exporting Photo Gallery from LR3 into DWcs5 via Insert>Media>SWF, it imports but is stuck loading. Help?
This is what it's stuck as: http://voirlamour.com/weddings.html

Help?

The template that I'm using is a user created one, but basically the Pure White, but shut off rows and columns and turn all the font and everything but the photo borders and the button directions to white. You shouljd end up with nothing but the picture with a border and the buttons below it. Again, it was a lightroom flash gallery. If you look on the website now, I substituted a simpleviewer gallery, so don't use that as a reference anymore. =P What it basically showed up as was the spinning loading circle, but it worked in lightroom fine. Although! It did Not work in Lightroom's Preview in browser. The page opened and remained blank without the loading symbol.
Identity Plate: Off
Picture size: X-L (tried with all sizes, really)
Quality: 80% (have increased and decreased)
Sharpening: Standard (tried low already)
Watermarking: Off
There are 9 images 800px at max point apiece. I'm exporting, not uploading it, to my site root folder in DW for the main page. Then insert>media>swf so on and so forth. =]

Multiple flash galleries in catalyst

similar version of a question I posted earlier...
I'm using flashcatalyst and importing slideshowpro lightroom galleries (swf files that call xml files). is there a way to have flash catalyst look not just in the root directory for an SWF's xml files? I can't put multiple galleries in one catalyst file, because I can't seem to get it to look for XML files within directories.
either that, or I'd take any solution toward the end of having multiple flash galleries in a single flash site.
thanks,
aemilia

Chris, first of all, thank you so much for replying! Thank you thank you.
Yes, there is a slideshowpro.swf, and a params.xml and images.xml it seems that slideshowpro.swf wants to look in the directory of the html file, not the relative path of the swf, for the xml files. I had a long chat with slideshowpro support about this, and we tried changing the base param within the HTML file, but it didn't inherit itself all the way to the slideshow pro swf. But I digress...
I actually tried almost the same thing already, but not exactly. Tell me if this make sense:
I built the fancy swf in flash catalyst, and imported the swf in flash catalyst. (I didn't wait until flash builder). Then, knowing what little I know about flash builder, I opened the FXP there, and imported the separate folders into the project structure in the left column (I added assets/images/gallery-headshots/slideshowpro.swf, assets/images/gallery-editorial/slideshowpro.swf).
Then, I clicked on the swf in the state I was focusing on, and changed the "source" field in the right column to the *new* location of the swf within the file structure I imported. I did this simply because I didn't know enough about flash builder to import and place an swf asset myself. This didn't work, unfortunately.
Does that make any sense?
Thanks again,
Aemilia

Lightroom Flash and HTML galleries (at the same time)

I cannot find any reference to such a thing but it would be great if when creating a Lightroom Flash gallery that there was the option of simultaneously creating a HTML gallery too which references the same image folder content (choice of large, medium or small) as I have situations where clients machines or bandwidth prohibits browsing on Flash galleries and where it would be good having the HTML option.
Thanks, Jeremy

Ngarraud,
Try this:
*Multicast Rate / Transmit Power*
Launch Airport Utility.
Select your Time Capsule on the left.
Click "Manual Setup".
Select "Airport" from the toolbar at the top.
Click the "Wireless" tab.
Click the "Wireless Options..." button.
Check the setting for "Multicast Rate".
This setting controls the range at which you allow devices to access your network. Lower is better if you want access throughout the house. But this setting won't improve speed. Tesserax has a nice explanation of this setting in the following quote:
+"The Multicast Rate option sets the threshold throughput level a wireless client must obtain in order to be "accepted" by the base station. The lower this value, theoretically, the greater number of clients that can connect, especially those at greater distances from the base station. At the opposite end, the higher this number, only those wireless clients that can achieve the higher throughput value will be able to connect.+ [http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6736587]
Next, verify that your "Transmit Power: is set to 100%.
*Interference Robustness / Use Wide Channels*
Finally, ensure that "Interference Robustness" is checked (For certain network configurations this setting will say "Use Wide Channels. Verify that it is checked nonetheless.)
Help Doc states: +"You may experience network performance problems if a microwave oven or other source of interference is used frequently near your base station or Time Capsule. To help minimize interference, turn on interference robustness."+
Let us know if this was helpful.
Cheers!

Lightroom Flash Gallery in Flash Site

I am working on a Photography Studio's website and was wondering if lightroom would be able to produce flash galleries that just show the image. I am wanting to load the .swf file for the gallery dynamically through the original flash site, wanting an outcome similar to http://ourlaboroflove.com
Also, I am wanting the images to be loaded dynamically in the flash file because the images will be rather large and I would like to save as much initial load time as possible. Thanks for the help.

Sean, thanks for the help, but I am still experiencing problems seeing my images using flash pages via lightroom 2. My hosting company say that it is a scripting error with lightroom, indeed this is their most recent response -
'Upon visiting tedfoxjoyce.co.uk, I can see there is a problem with your scripts which mean the images don't load, this is not a server side error. Please contact your developers or the software developers for advice.'
Any other advice you could offer would be again much appreciated, Ted

Changing typeface in Lightroom Web galleries

Is it possible to change the typeface in the web galleries Lightrrom 4 creates?
I use the Lightroom Flash Gallery template, but I'd like to be able to change the typeface for the site title / collection title etc. I can't seem to find a way to do this?
Thanks,
Alan.

Hello,
Please refer to the video : http://tv.adobe.com/watch/max-2011-design/advanced-integration-techniques-for-muse-codenam e/
Its a kind of old video, but there is a demo of adding a lightroom gallery in the video.
Hope this helps.

Adding Music to Lightroom Flash Gallery

I would like to be able to add music.fla or music.swf files created in flash 8 to a published Lightroom Flash Gallery. Upon examination of the of the gallery.swf and the Index.html files I don't see where I can insert or embed the music files. Has anyone explored this possibility?
George

Don't know if this helps you at all. It's not LR of course.....
In CS2 Adobe added two Flash-based templates you can use for your online Web Photo Gallery. Even cooler is the fact that you can now add a background music track to one of these Flash galleries. Just follow these steps: First find the MP3 audio track you want to use as your background music and rename the file as "useraudio.mp3". Then open your Photoshop CS2 application folder and navigate to Presets>Web Photo Gallery. Inside that folder look for either Flash Gallery 1 or Flash Gallery 2. Depending on which gallery you chose within Photoshop, drag-and-drop your audio file into the corresponding folder. That's it! You've got background music.

Source files for flash galleries

Does anybody know if the source files for the flash galleries are to be made available as were those for the CS2 galleries? I have mentioned this in another post but thought it appropriate to make a separate post.

They are. However replacing the swf file in Lightroom to generate new galleries on a windows machine is a little complicated (it is easier on a MAC). It was straightforward in CS2 but actually requires a dissembler to work with the template file inside Lightroom. So for now I think I will just try editing the xml files of the uploaded galleries as that sort of stuff is way beyond me and I have just got a headache trying to understand the Adobe instructions!
Hopefully some clever people will do all the hard work and lots of new Flash galleries will soon be around. There are some nice ones already created take a look
http://opensource.adobe.com/amg/samples/sfbay1/
http://opensource.adobe.com/amg/samples/sfbay2/
http://opensource.adobe.com/amg/samples/sfbay3/
http://opensource.adobe.com/amg/samples/sfbay4/
As these are on the Adobe developer site hopefully they will soon be available for download for Lightroom.

Integrating Lightroom Flash Gallery with Dreamweaver CS3

I have been unsuccessfully attempting to edit the gallery files created by Lightroom from within Dreamweaver. The index.html file comes up with this message when opened:
Sorry, this photo gallery requires that scripting be enabled on your web browser and that the Macromedia Flash Player be installed. Download the Macromedia Flash Player
However, I have the player installed...
I have tried uploading the files directly to my server from Lightroom but they do not display. The loading icon whirls endlessly and never resolves.
Does anyone have any advice.
Thanks in advance.

You can't edit a flash gallery with Dreamweaver.
To make changes to the LR flash gallery you would require a copy of the original fla file and a copy of Flash to edit it.
The index file you see is the one that loads the flash player to play your gallery. The message is what is seen in a browser that doesn't have flash player installed.
You can make amendments to the gallery itself by changing the xml files, although the changes you can make here can also be made in LR itself so why bother?
You can embed the gallery itself in your own html page. Using insert, media and then finding the gallery.swf file. As long as you then upload everything in the correct locations (including the scrippt files abd the new html file in the same folder structure it will work.
There are other flash galleries that are far easier to embed available. However in order to make serious changes to flash galleries of any type you will require the original fla file and most designers are not going to give you that! Adobe does give away the fla's for the galleries that ship with PS.

Customizing Flash Galleries by editing the XML

The controls within the Web tab allow you to customize the Lightroom Flash Gallery templates in a lot of ways. However, you can customize them much further by editing the XML files that are generated when you export a gallery. This requires almost no knowledge of Flash or HTML, and can be done with almost any text editor.
Here are few examples of what you can do:
Add a background image
Turn off (hide) the Title Bar and/or Menu Bar
Change the width, transparency, and color of borders around thumbnails and images
Turn thumbnail and image drop shadows on/off
Change the transition between images, including straight cut
Change image and transition durations
Change the color and transparency of all parts of a gallery including image and thumbnail area backgrounds and borders, individual buttons parts, scroll bar parts, etc
Change the height of the captions display area
Change text fonts and sizes
And much more
To start playing with this, simply open the style.xml file found within an exported gallery inside the ..resources/styles folder. You can also preview the gallery by double clicking on the index.html file, then make changes to the style.xml file in your text editor, save, and then refresh your browser to see the effect. Once youve achieved the look you want, you can copy your edited style.xml file into any gallery you export.
Note: any text editor will work, but using an app that has good HTML or XML editing features (Adobe Dreamweaver for example) will make it much easier.
Ive posted a few tips and tricks articles about how to do this on our blog at http://blog.bluefire.tv and plan to add more from time to time.

gsimpson,
There is no way via the XML to change the behavior where the smallest rendition will scale down to fit the window. Since the gallery itself scales to fit the window, scroll bars would need to appear on the image itself if the window is too small. This is in fact the behavior of the galleries in B4 if I remember correctly, but there is no way to achieve that with the 1.0 version.
However, you can achieve your goal with a bit of html work. One easy way it to "fix" the size of your gallery within your web page (by using pixel values in the embed code for example) such that it is set big enough that the smallest rendition will not be scaled.
Or, if you can do fairly advanced HTML you could let your gallery scale up, but not below a certain size. To do that, you'd need to put the gallery inside a "container" within your html page, (e.g a div or table cell) and then limit how small that container can be, and make sure that the container itself will grow to fill the available space.
Another alternative would be to make your own "small" renditions, that are so small that they will not scale at the gallery's minimum size. Speaking of minimum size of the gallery, wouldn't it be nice if you could set that? Who knows, maybe someone will contribute that code to the AMG open source project...
