Any Flash Gurus?

[atlan]

Trying to build dynamic flash galleries for websites and looking for some tips.

Currently I am opening images with lightbox but now have a flash gallery with thumbnail container and trying to load these into the embedded flash gallery.

Ex: On real estate website I have made, when a property is selected the page is displayed by php?PID=#

All images equal to that PID# are displayed on the page. (ex:PID-1.jpg, PID-2.jpg, etc...)

Would like to display this in a flash Gallery (which I have) but have very limited skills with flash or how to do this......do I do this via XML and php? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

You can load these into Flash by create a php file that will create a list of images, then use loadvar in Flash to pull in the list. You would create a list like:

&image1=a.jpg&image2=b.jpg...

Then load them in Flash as image1, image2...

You can also do this with slideshowpro: http://slideshowpro.net/. You have the variable (PID=x) load a certain XML file onto the page, and slideshowpro will always just read from that XML file.

For the money, this looks the way to go.

Thanks.....although I already purchased a product which I was hoping to be able to edit to get working, for the price I think I may just purchase the slideshow pro.

Thanks Again.
