Photo gallery with text description

I've got PSE7 and DW CS4. I'd like to add a photo gallery to a website where the photo is accompanied by a text description of about 60 words (ie not just a title). Ie the user clicks on a thumbnail and when the larger image is displayed, the user also sees this text description.
As far as I can see PSE7 doesn't allow me to create such a gallery.
Any ideas? If there is another tool that can do this, then I'd be interested to hear about it. I've looked at flash galleries too to buy but haven't found a suitable one yet.

You might give SmugMug a try.
They have a wide variety of presentation styles for their galleries, and I think they have one like you describe.
And... PSE7 has a built in uploader to SmugMug to make posting your images there easy. In the Organizer, look under the Share Tab, and then under More Options. A couple cool services hidden under there.
Cheers
Bob

I have used the "description" spot in iPhoto for in-depth additional information for photos of my ancestors. Now I am wanting to know if there is a way to print the photos along with the descriptions; either photo by photo, or maybe more than one per page

I have used the "description" spot in iPhoto for in-depth additional information for photos of my ancestors. Now I am wanting to know if there is a way to print the photos along with the descriptions; either photo by photo, or maybe more than one per page, or possibly in some sort of booklet format. Thank you very much.

You can make a Book and have a photo on one side and your text description on the other.

As for AS3 part of it, I am not sure your code really works. There are syntax and logical errors there.
I think you need to take it step by step and accomplish several task in the following sequences:
1. Write code that loads XML correctly;
2. Write code that enables buttons;
3. Write code that will load images on button clicks.
The code below shows in principal what needs to be done in order to load XML and make the data in this XML available for further consumption. Also, by accomplishing this step you will iron out all the PHP vs Flash wrinkles including your XML.
Please note, I don't know your XML structure so all the parsing issues you need to resolve yourself.
Once you get handle on it - we, hopefully, will talk about steps 2 and 3.
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.*;
var images:XML;
var myRequest:URLRequest;
var myLoader:URLLoader;
// list of image urls that will come from loaded XML
var imageList:XMLList;
myRequest = new URLRequest("Photography.php");
myLoader = new URLLoader();
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onFileLoaded);
// suggested handler for unexpected errors - avoids some headaches
myLoader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onLoadError);
myLoader.load(myRequest);
// Note: all the listeners are removed
// it is always wise to remove listeners that are needed any longer
// to make objects eligible for arbage collection
function onLoadError(e:IOErrorEvent):void
     trace(e.toString());
     myLoader.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onFileLoaded);
     myLoader.removeEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onLoadError);
function onFileLoaded(e:Event):void
     myLoader.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onFileLoaded);
     myLoader.removeEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onLoadError);
     images = new XML(myLoader.data);
     // only now xml is ready and you can start loading images
     imageList= images.pic;

Error in creating XML photo gallery with Flash CS4 and AS 3.0

Could anyone in the community assist me as to how to solve the problem? The script has no errors and last time I checked all the applicable files (the .xml file, the .jpg files, the .swf and the .fla file) are in my Documents folder on the Mac.
Looking forward to your suggestions!

How create a carrosel photo gallery with Adobe Muse widgets?

I use Adobe Muse 3.2 build 2, and I need create a photo gallery with many photos (around 60) like a carrosel (with photos and thumbnails that slides both from left to right). There is some way to create or insert a widget of this kind in Muse? If possible, in which Muse version?
I wanted a solution that works inside of Muse, to not create a HTML page separated, with the gallery, and after embed it into the Muse.
Thanks for any reply.

It is currently not possible to create a functional carousel using the out-of-the-box features available in Muse. You will need to look online for third party code or a widget from a Muse widget developer for something like this.
Cheers,
Vikas

Anyone know of a a tutorial for building a Spry photo gallery with both thumbnails and next, previous, stop and play buttons(functions) ???
Like the ones on Adobe's Photo Gallery demos; http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/demos/pe_gallery.html
Adobe show the source for their Photo Gallery Demos, but that doesn't help me much ... I need a prober tutorial that tells me how to do : )
The only tutorial that I've been able to find, is one for Dreamweaver 8, without buttons - I'm looking for a updated version.
I appreciate any help very much. Thank you.

Just Google for the Spry photo gallery and you might find

Creating a photo gallery with photo download option

Good morning,
I need to create a page on my website where I can have a photo gallery WITH the option to download a photo, or the entire gallery. Can someone tell me, or point me to a video tutorial on how to do this?
If you are familiar with SmugMug, or Zenfolio, they have that option where I can click to download the entire gallery or a single photo, and it downloads in the form of a zipped file.
Can someone help me with this please?
Thank you,
Alex
(I would use SmugMug or Zenfolio, but my volume does not justify the cost)

Welcome Alex -
Any picture you display on your site can be saved to the visitor's computer.
If you ZIP each gallery, a simple link to the zipped archive will offer the visitor
an option to save to their computer.

BC Photo Gallery with a jQuerry and a muse desktop template

Hello
How to combine a BC Photo Gallery with a jQuerry and a muse desktop template.
The jQuerry Slider is from
http://galleria.io (tutorial: http://www.atlantawebdesignga.com/adobe-business-catalyst-developer/use_javascript_galleri a_slideshow_to_display_an_adobe_business_catalyst_photo_gallery)
It works as long as the template of muse ins’t selected.
If the template is selected the jquerry wouldn't beeing loaded.
The effect is: the images shown among themselves.

Photo Gallery with Mouse over text

I would like to extended the photo gallery concept and the
general phot effects so when you mouse over an enlarged image you
get formatted text drawn from the XML file.
Like blockbuster does on its site when you mouse over an of

How to make Web Photo Gallery with 3 columns of thumbnails?

Hi all
I have used web photo galery to build a few sites, but always with thumbnails in a single, vertical column, within a frame that scrolls. and i have never mch liked that scrollbar.
I have come across this page:
http://www.mariannekolb.com/recent.html
which, as i look at the code, may not even be using web photo gallery, but is very similar.
anyhow, does anyone in this group have any idea how this multiple column thumbnail (without scroll bar) is accomplished?
thanks

howsthisforaname wrote:
I see how the css works, and it is much superior to alternatives I have seen.
But I fear I may be overlooking something: are you manually coding the html, writing the captions, and creating the thumbs? or is there a program that generates these?
Manually coded the CSS. Used Photoshop to optimize images, watermark them and create thumbnails.
Used Dreamweaver to insert thumbnails, full-size images and caption text.
If you want software to do the heavy lifiting for you, look at jAlbum.

Photo gallery with buttons and php.

I am relatively new to actions script, very new to as3, and brand new to php. I have tried very hard to figure all of this out via tutorials, studying the code, etc but now I'm running out of time to get this done so I need some help.
I am trying to make a photo gallery that functions as follows:
-the php gathers all of the filenames from a folder and returns it to flash
-an array of buttons is loaded onto the stage (one for each photo)
-flash then loads the first image into a movie clip.
-when the user clicks on button[i], image[i] loads in the movie clip.
-i also plan to incorporate what might happen if the number of photos exceeds the number of buttons that can fit nicely on the stage, like an arrow to go to another set of buttons. I haven't tried coding this yet since I was just trying to get the thing to work in general first. If anyone has ideas about this, let me know.
Please don't make fun of me too much. I know it's probably a mess.
Thank you so much in advance for your help.
Here's the php:

<?php
#   Use "." if the get_files.php file resides in the same directory as files being read
#   Otherwise you can change the path to whatever you like
#   eg:
#   Same Directory:
#   $path = ".";
#   Other Directory
#   $path = "products/images/"
$path = "Photography/";
#   Choosing what directory to read
if ($handle = opendir($path)) {
   #   Temporary array to hold image files
   $imageFiles = array();
   #   Creating loop and assigning current file to $file temp variable
   while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))
      #   Checking wheter or not the file is invisible and starts with a "."
      $fileCheck = substr($file, 0, 1);
      #   Checking to make sure the files is either a (jpg, JPG, png, PNG)
      $fileType = substr($file, -3);
      #   Making sure file is not invisible
      if($fileCheck != ".")
         #   Making sure file is readable and dynamically loadable by Flash
         if($fileType == "jpg" || $fileType == "JPG" || $fileType == "png" || $fileType == "PNG")
            #   Adding File to the image array
            if($path != "."){
            array_push($imageFiles, $path . $file);
            }else{
               array_push($imageFiles, $file);
      #   Sorting the files alphabetically
      sort($imageFiles);
   #    Creating XML File output to be read by Flash
   echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\n";
   #   Root Node
   echo "<image_list>";
   #   Creating child nodes for each image
   foreach($imageFiles as $value)
      #   Pulling the Width and Height values for each file and adding them as attributes for the image node
      list($width, $height) = getimagesize($value);
      #   Creating the image node
      echo "<image width=\"$width\"" . " height=\"$height\">" . $value . "</image>";
   echo "</image_list>";
   #   Closing the readdir function
   closedir($handle);
And here's the as3:
//php photo section
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.*;
//load the php file
var myRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Photography.php");
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
//define images variable as an xml file
var images:XML = new XML();
images.ignoreWhite = true;
images.addEventListener ('load', myLoader);
//define the images variable as an xml as the php file result
myRequest.data = images;
//outputting the filenames
function onLoaded(evt:Event):void {
trace("here we get the data back: "+myLoader.data);
//when the data is loaded, begin myRequest
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
myLoader.load(myRequest);
//array to call the images
var imageArray:Array //= NewArray();
var listLength:Number;
var il:XMLList = images.data //xml.images;
listLength=il.length();
var i:Number
var photo_btn:Array = new Array();
for (i = 0; i < listLength; i++); {
imageArray[i] = il[i].pic //xml.images[i].pic;
if (photo_btn[i].mouseDown == true) {
img_loader.load(imageArray[i])
if (i == 0) {
photo_btn[i].y = 422.7;
photo_btn[i].x = 411.5
else if (i > 0 && i < 24); {
photo_btn[i].y = 422.7;
photo_btn[i].x = (photo_btn[i-1].x + 18.6);
if (i > 24 && i < listLength); {
photo_btn[i].y = 442.7;
photo_btn[i].x = (photo_btn[i-1].x + 18.6);
img_loader.load(imageArray[0]);
