Flash Image Gallery

Home : How To


Some Tips

  • All images must be unoptimized, unprogressive jpegs. Here is a screenshot of how to make the images in photoshop.
  • The file makeGallery.exe is wonderful!!! USE IT. Make sure it is in the same folder as gallery.swf and run the program. Select your picture folder from your harddrive and it will copy the images to the FIG folder and create the thumbnails. The gallery creator is brought to you by Muffin.
  • Thumbnails in the gallery are 148 pixels wide and 116 pixels high. If the thumbnail is smaller it will be centered. If it is larger only the viewable amount will be displayed.
  • The splash image or swf is 609 pixels wide and 368 pixels high.
  • Descriptions can currently only be plain text.
  • In menu.xml it is best to use all caps for the name of image galleries for display purposes.
