Simple MX 2004 gallery tutorial

Hello
I am looking for a fairly simple MX 2004 tutorial on creating
a photo gallery which would show several thumbnails which, when one
of them is clicked, it would show a larger image.
I have looked online and those I have found are not
compatible with MX 2004 or the FLA file is not available.
Thanks for any help.

What happened to "Simple Web Photo Gallery" Automation in Photoshop

Hi - I have used Photoshop's automation tool to make a simple web photo gallery for at least 10 years. I have built a business out of displaying photos that way for clients. i do a few things in the HTML but mostly that function of putting them all in a gallery in nice simple columns was of major use. 1000s if not 100,0000s of photos have been displayed by me in this way. CS5 was the last I was able to use it.
What can I do now? Where is the plug-in. Why has this function been moved?
Actually - don't answer the last question. Just help me get it back so I can work with it in CC!
Thank you all so much!

The output function in Bridge - unless it has changed a lot since last I checked - does not give me any control on how big the thumbnails should be, what colors to use, what size the large image should be. It barely gives me any control at all and that worries me. In the version I am talking about we had complete control, that's what I need again.
For example, it only gives me the ability to put 5 rows of pictures. That's not enough. I need a 100.
What are my options? Sorry, I really need help with this or I'm going to lose a ton of business.

Simple disjointed image gallery

I originally created this simple one page gallery in GoLive. What's the best way to duplicate it in Dreamweaver (CS5)? Issues: on clicking thumbs, images with different dimensions load to placeholder without distorting, thumbs become gray when "visited".
http://www.sonsmi.com/paintings3.html

Success! Up and running and easy to maintain. Easier than I imagined -- no javascript coding necessary with the Behaviors panel.
http://www.sonsmi.com/paintings5.html
Here's the process I used for those who might be interested:
Preparation: button state images. I used Photoshop to create each button image -- for example, "button01.jpg" and "button01_click.jpg".
Make a placeholder image: "placeholder.jpg".
Prep all gallery images to be the right size. (in this case I made max width/height no greater than 500px).
Now to Dreamweaver: use Insert Placeholder to place image. By default, Swap Image uses the placeholder dimensions and distorts swapped images to fit if they don't match. As Murray suggested, I went to code view and deleted the placeholder width and height values so I could use images of various sizes.
Insert button image into page (e.g., drag from library).
Making sure button image is selected on the page. In the Properties panel, give each button an ID.
Select a button on the page. In the "Behaviors" panel, select Swap Image.
In the Swap Image panel, with the button ID selected, browse to select the image to show when the button is "visited" (for ex., "button01_click.jpg").
While still in the Swap Image panel, select "placeholder" and browse for the image to swap when the button is selected.
Uncheck "Restore images onMouseOut". Otherwise, the image will disappear when the mouse moves away from the button.
In Behaviors, where it shows "onMouseOver", change it to "onMouseDown" from pulldown (click the little menu arrow next to it).
For text captions, I created a new div tag for the caption area and added another behavior for each button: "Set Text of Container". (I also added a new css rule in my style sheet called "#caption").
Thanks again, Murray. You really helped me.

Can anyone help get me started on making a simple custom web gallery template?

I have tried using the documentation and a freeware template as an example, but I am getting confused, and I think the template is over-complicating things.
I have a web-template that requires the following to get images to automatically work in a gallery:
Full size images in a specific folder
Thumbnails or each full size image in another specific folder
Simple HTML code for each image which allows for image title and description information
The script takes care of the rest. So what I want to do is have Lightroom genereate the images in their specific folders, and the HTML code on the fly for each gallery I wish to publish to my website. I'm posotive this can be done, but I'm having trouble customizing the code. I've tried looking for tutorials and help, but the documentation on this is limited, and I'm not a programmer. I do however have enough experience with basic web design to be able to work with existing templates with relative ease but this is seemingly difficult as I'm not sure what each file in the plugin structure is actually doing. Any suggestions on how I can make a simple gallery output like this? Or a link for a good, solid, easy, step-by-step tutorial?
Many thanks in advance!

You don't need the intermediate step of uploading to Verizon; you can upload directly to Facebook from your phone. You need to go to your Facebook account, and set up your mobile number; then you will get a personalized email address and you can send a text message with the picture and any caption you want to that email address and it will show up as a mobile upload on your timeline.
You *used* to be able to text a status update or a pic to 32665 (FBOOK) but that didn't always work.

Creating a very simple XML-driven gallery

Hi, I'm learning XML in AS3 and I am having real trouble finding a resource that can help me learn how to build a very simple XML-driven picture gallery.
I am working in an FLA file with AS3, with a dynamic text field with the instance name "textfield". I also have a UILoader Component with the instance name "UILoaderComponent" and an XML file called "rootdir.xml".
I have an XML file in the following format.
<images>
     <imagenames>
          <name>image1</name>
          <name>image2</name>
          <name>image3</name>
          <name>image4</name>
          <name>image5</name>
     </imagenames>
     <imagepaths>
          <path>image1.jpg</path>
          <path>image2.jpg</path>
          <path>image3.jpg</path>
          <path>image4.jpg</path>
          <path>image5.jpg</path>
     </imagepaths>
</images>
I am using the following as my actionscript.
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlData:XML = new XML();
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML);
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("rootdir.xml"));
function LoadXML(e:Event):void {
xmlData = new XML(e.target.data);
parseImg(xmlData);
function parseImg(imgLoad:XML):void {
var imgChild:XMLList = imgLoad.images.children();
for each (var imgTrace:XML in imgChild) {
trace(imgTrace);
No matter which way I experiment, I always have poor results with my dynamic text, and every tutorial I've followed does not reproduce anything like the same returned data in "textfield" that it does with the trace command.
My objective is: I simply want to build a menu inside a textbox called "textfield" that lists images1-5, and when clicked, calls upon the relevant image. For instance: I load the file "rootdir.xml" into the file "index.fla". I call a function to parse the XML into a dynamic text box called "textfield". When image 2 is clicked on the textbox "textfield", it would call upon a function that would load into the UIComponent Loader "image2.jpg".
Are there any tutorials for this? I'm so confused as to why dynamic text operates so differently from the trace command. I'm not interested in doing a fancy menu bar with thumbnails, scrollbars and animations, I just want to learn the basics.

I don't really see how you are getting a valid trace out of that code (I get nothing if I try it as is), but as far as the textfield goes, you haven't shown any attempt in your code that might help to point to why you cannot get the text into a textfield. It might be a problem with how you are trying to write to the textfield and not how your are manipulating the data.
While you could make use of a textfield for the menu, doing so is not straightforward, as you would need to implement htmlText with special coding in order to have the text clickable. You might consider using a List component or ComboBox instead.
What I always do when I am working with xml is to store the data into a data structure, usually an array conatining objects, and then make use of that structure rather than dippng into the xml data itself when I utilize the data.
Another thing, which rquigley demonstrated, is that your xml will serve its purpose better if the data for each image is collected under the same node. If you have separate sections for each piece of data like you have, when it comes to editing it will be more prone to error as you have to be sure you are editing the correct entry of each separate group.
I too am no expert in the world of xml, but I have not yet worked with parameters inside the tags, so I would usually structure it as...
<images>
   <image>
       <imgName>image 1</imgName>
       <imgPath>image1.jpg</imgPath>
   </image>
   <image>
       <imgName>image 2</imgName>
       <imgPath>image2.jpg</imgPath>
   </image>
</images>
Now, back to what you have... let's say you have a textField named imgText that you want to list the image names in. The following should work, though I do not go my usual route of storing the data into an object array first...
function parseImg(imgLoad:XML):void {
   var imgNames:XMLList = imgLoad.imagenames.name;
   var imgPaths:XMLList = imgLoad.imagepaths.path;
   // show name
   for each (var nameTrace:XML in imgNames) {
      trace(nameTrace);
      imgText.appendText(nameTrace +"\n");
   // show path
   for each (var pathTrace:XML in imgPaths) {
      trace(pathTrace);
      imgText.appendText(pathTrace +"\n");
   // show name and path
   for(var i:uint=0; i<imgNames.length(); i++){
      trace(imgNames[i].text()+" "+imgPaths[i].text());
      imgText.appendText(imgNames[i].text()+" "+imgPaths[i].text() +"\n");

Simple html5 image gallery

Hi,
Can anyone point me in the direction of a very simple (need to give this as a tutorial) but effective image gallery which can be added into a html5 website?
Thanks

jQuery Cycle2 is a responsive slideshow plugin that works well in HTML5 doc types.
http://www.malsup.com/jquery/cycle2/
However if what you really want is an HTML5 gallery using <canvas>, then look at the tutorial below:

Hi all,
No response from Apex Listener Forum...moved here....
Apex Listener - 2.0.2.133.14.47
Apex - 4.2.2.00.11
When running Image Gallery application as per tutorial, page just show a blank screen with no image upload button.
Am using Firefox 22.0 and Chrome 28.0.1500.72.
Firebug does not display any script error.
Had recreated tutorial on apex.oracle.com with same result as above.
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=4550:1:::::F4550_P1_COMPANY:HANAMIKE
Workspace: HANAMIKE
Username: [email protected]
Password: yesla
Using username= resteasy_admin, Password=resteasy_admin to run on apex.oracle.com.
Had modified tutorial JS below :
var workspace_path_prefix = 'resteasy'; => var workspace_path_prefix = 'hanamike';
Another odd problem was when trying out the RESTFUL service as per tutorial when clicking the 'TEST' button, encountered error 404.
Problem due to extra workspace name in URL as below:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/hanamike/hanamike/gallery/images/
Had to manually modify it to:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/hanamike/gallery/images/
Notice that the Listener version on apex.oracle.com is:
APEX_LISTENER_VERSION
2.0.3.165.10.09
Thanks in advance.

Hi Zack,
Thanks for providing the login credentials to your workspace. I took a look at your RESTful Service and associated application, and noticed that there was something missing - the "Upload Image" button! So it looks like the 'Create the Gallery Application' section is missing a step to create a HTML region, with region template "Button Region without Title", and with its region source set to the following:
<a class="button" id="upload-btn">Upload Image</a>
You'll see in the JS that there's a reference to #upload-btn, but no such object existed on your page. I created a copy of your app, which includes this new HTML region, and you'll see that I've uploaded an image as a demo. I've contacted the APEX Listener team re the missing instruction, so that will hopefully be rectified in the next release. Apologies for the confusion, but hopefully you're back on track now. As for the behaviour you've noticed with the URL generated by the 'Test' utility, thanks for bringing this to our attention. I'll do some further investigation there, and log a bug if required.
Regards,
Hilary

XML photo gallery tutorial

hi guys,
I need to create a flash photo gallery that loads the photos
and photo title with xml but can't seems to b able to find a
suitable one.
this is what i need to do
http://www.afterlights.com/phuket/photo_gallery.html
basically the photos, thumbnails and photo description will
be all controlled by xml
i've created the flash with everything loaded in flash by
hard code now, can anyone share any similar tutorial that can do
something like this?
million thanks in advance!

So this is the information that I'm using which leads me to believe I can use the xml feed to populate the slider.
http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-1780
. You can now style this using your own CSS or use one of the many free, jQuery-based Gallery/Slideshow plugins available on the web, such as Galleria, the jQuery Cycle plugin, or InnerFade.
When using a seperate jQuery plugin on top of this set up, make sure you place and execute the plugin script after the code we just inserted, so that our LI items are generated before it attempts to process and manipulate them.
Am I right and it just takes the proper coding?

Controller in Simple Search in Toolbox tutorial

Hi,
I am very new to OA framework.I have just begun by learning from Toolbox tutorial provided in Jdeveloper 9i(I am working in 11.5.10.2).In Create search(simple search) we define Application Module,EO and VO(and other things like Associations).I am not able to understand how does AM gets called when we have not defined the controller.To put it as an example if I am giving 'B%' in empname field and then press "Go" button then how does AM get called?Does the system generate controller for this page on its own? I would be grateful if you can clarify it.
Regards

As per dev guide
Many new OA Framework developers wonder just "how big" a controller should be. Should you have one per page, one per meaningful region (like a "Search" region), one per complex web bean (like a table) -- or what? Unfortunately, the answer is it depends.
First and foremost, in a really simple page, you might not have any controllers (there is no requirement that you create controllers if they have no work to do). If you do need to write code, you should weigh the following carefully before deciding what controllers to create:
the benefits of encapsulation -- ideally, a web bean implements its own behavior
component reuse -- if a component is designed to be shared, it must be self-sufficient> practical code usability -- although a page comprised of eight regions could easily have eight corresponding controllers (each with a few, trivial lines of code), this > "pure" object oriented approach can make code maintenance more difficult, and it can cause unnecessary file bloat in your product

Simple flash web form tutorial

Can anyone point me at a simple tutorial for building flash
forms for a web site (e.g. a contact us form).
I've been searching the web and support here for a few hours
and every path I've gone down has had a hang-up (e.g. component
parameters missing in my Flash version -- MX) or just doesn't work.
I'm 90% there in one version, but the input text data is
being passed as "_level0.name" instead of the data entered in the
"name" input field.
thx a bunch!

hi,
visit www.gotoandlearn.com. it has a video tutorial for a

JMS Simple code in Sun tutorial

I run a simple code (http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/tutorial/doc/JMS4.html) fine in j2sdkee , but fail to use in Openjms/ JBoss.
try {
connectionFactory = (ConnectionFactory) jndiContext.lookup("QueueConnectionFactory");
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("JNDI API lookup failed: " + e.toString());
return;
What's wrong of the above code? Why do I can the following error in Openjms / Jboss?
JNDI API lookup failed: javax.naming.CommunicationException: Can't find

OpenJMS by default defines the following: (QueueConnectionFactory is not defined by default!)
queueName = "queue1"
queueConnectionFactoryName = "JmsQueueConnectionFactory"
The creation of the initial context could be done like this
Hashtable env = new Hashtable ();
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,
"rmi://localhost:1099/JndiServer");
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
"org.exolab.jms.jndi.rmi.RmiJndiInitialContextFactory");
jndiContext = new InitialContext (env);
Similar modifications are needed for JBoss

Looking for simple AJAX content-loading tutorial

Hi there,
I'm working on putting together a graphic portfolio website. The main navigation will come from a fixed-position menu overlay.
For this reason, I'd like the contents (text and images) to be loaded via AJAX. So the static menu doesn't disappear and re-appear (however quickly) on each load.
Is there a basic, simple tutorial somewhere on how to do this?

Simple viewer photo gallery problems

Hello,
I used SimpleViewer to created a photo gallery in Photoshop and followed instructions on the simpleviewer site to put the gallery on a page in my under-construction site. The gallery doesnt show... I do get an icon, but no photo gallery, also when "previewed in browser" (ie) i get nothing... I checked flash player and java settings and there doesn't seem to be anything preventing the gallery from working, any suggestions? Do pages containing a gallery like that need to be set up differently initally? Appreciate the help, oh great ones!
Marie

if you loaded the flash in DW, it adds the script needed to view but may not put it where you think. check that AC_RunActiveContent.js is in your head tag and the script is on the server. you may need to change the link to within your root folder.

How to make a simple online image gallery?

Hello,
I'm wanting to make a webpage that showcases some images, very much like this one http://www.mapltd.com/artist/janinetrott/illustration/1/
I want button where you can click to the next image, and have only the next image load, not the whole page like the link above....
Is this done in flash, or maybe dreamweaver? What should I be seraching for when looking for a tutorial for this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks !!
Lucy

One of my favorite full featured Flash galleries is SlideShowPro. It comes with an amazing back end, elegant design and best practices coding. You can try it and if you like it the price is dirt cheap ($39) compared to sitting for hours trying to code your own. Time is money..
http://slideshowpro.net/
I would highly recommend getting Director as well. That makes something that sounds tedious like adding all your photos actually fun.
