Pictures

Ok this is a 2 part post.

  1. Please go and have a look at 2 pictures I took with my digital camera this weekend here in Ontario. This is right outside my front door after our ice storm. I took them at night so the flash would work it’s magic

  1. I was wondeing if anyone here knew of a good photo gallery tutorial or something that I could use on a site I am making. I check out the site here and have seen the Kirupa one but it’s kind of simple for what I want…and I saw lava’s (which is very nice) but I am looking for a thumbnail-click for larger view kind of thing. Can anyone help?

they’re both empty URLs. if you want to see something cool with photo galleries check out the 3D gallery bit-101 made on his site. i can’t direct you with the link, but it’s there.

they work - trust me :wink:

ok now all of a sudden they do. nice :).

hmm… I’m sure you can modify my code appropriately. I know how to add the thumbnails to my gallery, and I’ve been meaning to do that and write a tutorial on it, but I haven’t had time to do it. I’d do it for you right now except that I really need to find a new job, and once again, I dont have time. But you know how I load the pics into the container on mine? You can use the same technique to load, lets say, the next 5 pictures into containers, and resize those movie clips so that they look like thumbnails. You’d do it using movieclip._xscale, movieclip_yscale. Just store the name of the picture in a variable, and when the movie is clicked, pass the variable to the larger container. I know I’m not being really specific about this, but I’m trying to point you in the right direction.

If you want to see the site that inspired my photo album, click here: http://www.rui-camilo.de/main.html

And I know I don’t have a link to my photo album on my site anymore, but it’s still up. It has the source code too: http://web.mit.edu/lavaboy/www/album/album.html

You can see that mine clearly pales in comparison. But I did it when I didn’t know crap about flash. I hope this helps.

if you want, I’ll post the fla when I get home.

very nice

Yah Lava that’s great. I did look at yours (I foudn the link from a search I did) but like I said, I need the thumbnail thing to work ya know? It’s for a client and what they say goes :slight_smile: Any help you could off would be great. Again thanks for the reply.

I just noticed, that second picture looks fake! It looks like I put the branch on another picture…crazy!

by when do you need to have it? I can write a the code for the thumbnails this week, but not anytime soon…

Tuknuk:

do you want to do something similar to my site?

Even tho mine runs on Gen2, I could help you out with creating it in MX, if you want…

Check it out, let me know…

What do you mean the second picture? They’re BOTH obvious fakes. Total photoshop jobs. A little line tool here, a little airbrushing there… presto. Well done =)

heh the second one looks like it has a skull on the right side :!:
:-\ maybe Im just in a :bad: mood

:!:

I wish I had those kind of photshop skills :slight_smile:

Scull eh? I am going to check it out and see what your talking about…

So I take that as a No?

Hello Tuknuk

::tries to figure out how to knock on an igloo::

Rev

take what as a no? the photoshop work?

I havent even opend the pictures up in photoshop - that’s how they looked right off my camera! I think they are pretty cool :slight_smile:

^^^look up three posts^^^

ANYWAY… does anyone ese have an ideas on what I could do for a picture gallery?

Tuknuk:

Pull back the parka, look a couple posts up, I’m trying to answer your question, you stubborn eskimo you…

Rev

yeah, I wish someone would say they know how to handle a photo gallery for that!

:crazy:

Rev - this is the craziest thing.

While at work - I did not see your post. I checked this board like 30 times today and that first one wasnt there. I dont understand or have any idea why… this is strange. Now I know what you were talking about :slight_smile: I am sorry man…

I am going to look at your page right now - I just wanted to let you know it wasnt my parka’s fault. This time.

Yah Rev, that’s pretty simliar to what I want to do - except I want the images to load larger when they are clicked and not pre-loaded. This way they only have to look at the pics they want. The reason for this is because the pics are a good size and I want to cut down overall load time.

How was it you made yours?
