Depends on how many thumbs you have there, you could try to increase the easing but I don’t think is a good idea.

Thank you 4 your initial quick response…. how or where in your code can I try to increase the easing… in order to attempt to slow down the thumbs… since i am using alot of thumbs at once. i am a novice with flash. thanks.
Search for this two lines of code on the second frame, first layer:
_vx = (target – _thumbin_sp.x)/5;
_vx = (target – _thumbin_sp.x)/4;
Replace 5 or 4 with your a higher number then export the .fla again.
Is there any way to easily remove the maximize feature? My mouse is disappearing in the “image” region throughout my entire site. I’m also trying to take off the fullscreen option. Help? Thanks…
That can only be done by changing the code and the gallery was build with that in mind , is not an easy thing to do.
Okay that’s fine… but the mouse is disappearing within the rest of my site over the area that the image is. Any ideas at all? Thanks.
Hmm this is really strange, I think is some malfunction of the flash player, it never happened to me. Send me a screen shot with you problem so that I can see, maybe we can find a solution.
This will sound odd, but i changed the XML file and previewed the index.swf and it works fine and looks phenomenal. But when i embed the swf file into the webpage html (in Dreamweaver 8) it doesnt show up at all. It is just blank where the gallery should be. I dont think i changed any of the naming system but i was wondering if there would be some reason that it wouldnt be pulling the files?
Take a look at this link http://www.w3schools.com/flash/flash_inhtml.asp read about how to embed a flash file in a html page.
Thanks, that wasn’t the problem but the link was a handy page. I have always worked with the swf’s; i had never thought of publishing to html and working with that.
Anyway, i toyed around and figured out the problem. I kept the files set up the way that they were when i recieved and unzipped them. I uploaded the folders to the FTP as is, instead of making sure the swf file, fla. file, and load folder lying loose with the rest of the actual html pages. It was one of those problems that are so simple they make you feel stupid. But thanks you for the help, and the file, it looks/works great.
Glad it works for you. I will add this month a video player to this template, I had a few requests for this.
hi, is it possible to configure the thumbnails to display in two columns vertically?
TIA
Hi There,
Great product,
I have a few queries to reconfigure it, I want to:
1. Be able to pass a URL from the XML file.
2. Instead of zooming into the image when its in the main viewer, i would like to pass and open up the URL specified for a particular picture within the XML.
3. Also i would like to change the colour of the background.
Thanks
Simon
I will add the url option today. The other stuff you are on your one I just don’t have the time for it now.
New features added! Your requests are now available:
1. You can add the path of the loading XML file location inside the embedded code and in this way you can have multiple galleries with a single SWF file.
2. You can disable or enable the "?" description icon in the XML file. In case that you don’t need the description just set the <show_description_icon>no</show_description_icon> in the XML file.
Best regards,
Tibi

this is great and works wonderfully!
one question/suggestion to add when time allows…is it possible to add and URL in the description? i assume it would to be a on click instead or rollover off the “?” icon. or similar to another post add an URL when click on the image.
thanks, great work!
Can you please give an example how to add the path of the XML file in the embedded code?
This is the easiest way to do ti:
<embed src=‘index.swf’ width=‘100%’ height=‘100%’ bgcolor=’#000000’ allowscriptaccess=‘always’ allowfullscreen=‘true’ quality=‘good’ flashvars=‘xml_path=load/load.xml’/>
If you want a new xml file then just replace ‘xml_path=load/load.xml’ with ‘xml_path=load/your_new_xml.xml’
Quick question: can it be configured as a slide show? (no thumbnails). thx.
Hi, thanks for a great component.
However, some of my images are very small and there seems to be a minimum size being applied, because the small images are being stretched which is ruining their resolution. You can see my usage at http://www.noosaboatique.com.au/pontoon-boats-bennington.html .
My question is, is there a way of reducing the minimum dimensions so that my small images are not stretched?
If there is no way, what are the current minimum dimensions, or are they a percentage of the overall gallery width & height? My only other option is to resize the canvas of my images, but I am wondering if there is a formula to calculate this, or an absolute value that you can give me.
Thanks for your help
@nicola.
The only way you can make this work is to use images with a bigger size and then it will look nice.
It is possible to do what you want but requires some serious code changes and that is not the intention of this gallery.
Hi,
One more question, my “full screen” icon is still appearing, even though I have “allow full screen” set to false in embed.html.
so.addParam(“allowFullScreen”, “false”);//allow full screen support
How can I can rid of the full screen icon, currently it appears, but when you click it it results in an error as fullscreen mode is not allowed.
Also, what is the recommended minimum image size for this gallery? I will adjust the canvas sizes of my small images so that they are not stretched.
Thanks
Nicola
The allow full screen option disable the flash player full screen not the icon.
This gallery will still have the full screen visible.
I didn’t have time to make this feature possible.
You can open the fla and set the alpha of that icon to 0 this way it will not be visible. Do not remove it because you will get errors! unless you know to fix the code.
Hello,
I must say its an awesome Gallery, I purchased it because it like its flow and design.
However, on the XML, i can’t seem to be able to add URL’s or Links to the images or its description as i previously read on these threads (pg.2)
The sample says “HTML format” but no luck, my XML description code looks like this:
I modified it so my viewers can hoover on the “?” and be able to read the description freely and then Click on the “?” so they can close the description. This way viewers will be able to click on any link on the description.
I really appreciate all your help.
Once again great gallery, if i can add links to the Image description area It will make it a perfect Gallery.
Thank you very much
Write to me at tibi_diablo@yahoo.com and send me a link with the changes that you made, I mean a working version of the gallery I will try to help you.
Hello, great gallery!
Did you created this gallery so that is possible to use it in other flash projects?
thanks
