My Dad’s 70th birthday is rapidly approaching and I’ve been researching/compiling a copy of the family tree as a surprise for him. As a result I’ve acquired a lot of old photo’s so I’m thinking about creating something in Flash, probably a projector file, that he can scroll through at his leisure.

Rather than a standard image gallery, I was thinking about placing them in some kind of historical timeline. Anyone got any hints/example FLA’s/links to tutorials etc. that I can use to kick-start this project?

Also, I’ve made projector files before but what if I wanted him to be able to view them on a TV via a DVD player? Should I think about using a DVD authoring program instead of Flash?

Any guidance would be appreciated.
