Premium XML Image & Media Gallery

Item Description:
This item’s goal is to be an easily editable Flash template for Flash developers wishing to build an AS3 image/video/swf gallery OR a clean and functional XML template for a non Flash developer to use as a web page for the same purpose. 4 version with different designs and slightly different functionality are included, so that non Flash owners can choose from one of the 4, and Flash owners can edit any of the 4 depending on their needs.

What makes this better that other media galleries?

  • Displays Images, Videos, or Swf files (AS2 or AS3 ) as thumbs and or full views.
  • In the XML you can declare to allow items to be downloaded. (optional for each item)
  • Optional description text not only is HTML capable but is also subject to a CSS stylesheet included.
  • Four versions included, each with different design and configurations.
  • All versions are set up to be allowed to be a standalone website (HTML, JS, and everything) or can be used as simple MovieClips that you just drag onto the stage to use in your projects.
  • Many help files, from specific editing for this templates XML , to the general rules for AS2 file in AS3 , to an XML language primer.
  • Extreme attention to detail for editability, and interoperability with other Flash.
  • Complete ability to edit colors, layout, graphics, text, etc from Flash with no scripting, all on stage.
  • Use of FLVPlayback component for video, allowing any Flash skin to be used on video, as well as skin colors, skin auto hiding, and skin opacity, editable for each individual video.
  • Easy Flash implementation, just copy the assets to your library and drag 2 movie clips onto your stage. All the assets they need are in one easy folder to help you copy over.


What kind of help files are there?
This template includes a lot of help files. To help you I’ve created the following:
  • Commented Script
  • Commented XML
  • Editing These Files.html
  • What About H264 Content.html
  • What CSS Can I Use.html
  • What HTML Can I Use.html
  • What is XML and How Do I Edit.html
  • What Stipulations do Flash Files Need to Work.html
  • I’m also opening a help page here. It will answer common questions as they arise.


Does it take H.264?
Yes. The FLVPlayback component is technically capable of H.264 content. However, it is picky about it, and since it is an Adobe creation, not mine, I cannot provide support for it. The great thing is that it is a standard Flash component though, and you can look up anything you need to know on it. One resource I found useful was this.

I Have Questions.
If you have questions, first click this link to go to the help area and check whether or not it has already been answered.

If that does not help, please email me directly that way instead of answering questions on this thread, and making people sift through our correspondence to find answers, once I’ve solved your problem I can simply add it to the help section for people to view!

Hi,

This is perfect by the looks of things – however I can not work out how to make it display the video at the right size. It is not auto detecting the video size – so as all my videos are the same size is there a way of telling it to always open FLV @ 750×400 px ?

Thanks for your help. Dan

To get around it I created swf containers for all the video files. However these open fine but when closed down before the flv has finished playing the audio continues? Any ideas?

Cheers

I’m sorry, but it is detecting the video size of the files in the preview, and of any other videos I’ve ever put in it. Did you change the edit the popup size as the instructions file says?

Hi thanks for getting back to me.

The pop-up is set to: maxPopupWidth=800; maxPopupHeight=600;

Which is large enough to contain the FLVs I have – but even if it weren’t I though that your script scaled/constrained the content relative to the pop-up.

is there somewhere else I have to edit the size?

Cheers Dan

It does, and it does in the version that I have, and it has worked for many others too. Have you edited the sources? You should probably email me for questions like this anyway though.

Cool – I have emailed you and included a link to the source files so that you can see what is happening.

Any ideas? would be nice to get the problem sorted soon (ish) if you have a solution. If not then I’m happy to use swf containers which are working save the sound not stopping, but i’m sure I can code that out without too much of a problem if need be. Is e-mail not working?

There is already tooltips, they are set in the xml, and shown in the preview :)

as far as adding an extra menu, you would just code a button in normally into whatever project you are working on, and load it in normally. If you want that swf to load using the popup in the file, then you would need to modify the local/display/Popup.as to do it, since it is designed only to show items in the loaded xml file. It is that way because of the right and left arrows, it has to have a defined list of what it’s paging through in order to have right and left paging like that. So you’d have to do some modifying to have it show something not from the original loaded xml.

Hey MB, I have a flash 8+ template I am using that we really like, and your player is AS3 , and the template is created in AS2 . I bought your player, and I tried dropping it in and there are serious AS issues. Is that just common that this is not formattable with AS2 ?

My email address is jason(at)magarts.tv

I would appreciate any assistance. We are trying to get this rectified this weekend, without having to go buy a player. Or could you code it for us if we paid you?

Thanks Jason

How does one edit/modify the gallery grid background? It is currently white, can we use external background or edit the color and opacity? Thanks in advance. -E

@magarts

this is a Flash 9+ AS3 (actionscript 3.0) file as marked. AS3 is not the same language as AS2 , you cannot simply drop an AS3 project into an AS2 project and have it run. And I’m sorry, but I do not have time for freelance.

@gluegl

The objects (including the backgrounds for images) are on stage and editable vectors right in flash :)

In the help file it explains the exact details, but the jist of it is that you click into the movie clip with the thumbs, delete all but four, arrange them how you want it, and then change an array in that that clip (comments explain how)

All the rest is handled automatically, just lay out the stage as you desire, that’s what it was made for :)

Great product, but I’m running into a small issue. I’m using this component to display greeting cards. Some of these cards have custom envelopes that I would like to be able to display in a fixed-sized popup window that would be triggered from the description text for the image being displayed in the gallery. How can I do this?

Thanks!

It is not designed nor portrayed as having that as a feature, sorry. You would have to go into the script and modify it custom. But it would be much better to simply let the popup image display as I have it programmed. If you set the maximum popup size extremely large, then you can just size each image the dimensions you want, and it will never scale them, because it will never scale an image up, only down if it’s too big.

I just bought this and is is great. I do have one question. Is is possible to pull the video from vimeo.com rather than on the local server. All out video go up to vimeo and it would be great to leave them there and just reference the video in the xml. Is this possible?

Thanks

Brad

If vimeo allows you to have a direct path to the video and the video file type is capable of being played in Flash then yes. But I have no idea if vimeo does that. It was not designed as a vimeo or youtube skin though.
