New in Flash Album Generator Version 2

All the great features from version 1 of the extension, like the DW integration and the rich set of gallery options stay the same.

We have build in our own Flash Gallery Viewer and no longer use the third party components.

This allows us to provide you with a new rich set of options without requiring any additional products! Everything is now integrated in one extension.

The new Flash Gallery Viewer from DMXzone includes the following new features:

  • Gallery images are loaded on demandThis is a huge difference between the old and the new version as the old version always loaded the full gallery even if the user just viewed a few photos. Now everything is loaded on demand with a nice progress.
  • Thumbnails with popup effect, rounded corners and shadowsNow your thumbnails look even cooler with sweet rouded corners, alpha shadows and slick popup effect.
  • Gallery images and thumbnails are better alignedIt is much easier now to align your images and thumbnails by just specifying how much space the main image takes from the viewer – the rest is calculated automatically.
  • Gallery and image titles are now displayed much betterThe gallery title is now always on the top side of your main image in the viewer and the image title is always below it.
  • Rich set of image transitionsNow you can choose from 12 different image effects for the transitions between the photos. You can also choose to use them all by selecting the random option.
  • More options for the thumbnails viewYou can customize the thumbnails even further with more colors to suit your design.
     
  • Smart thumbnails stripThe thumbnails layout has been improved so they fit the available space.
  • Extended error checking and reportingNow when something is wrong with your xml or if images are missing on your server you get much better and more user friendly error messages.
  • Easy conversion from the previous versionWe provide a new command in DW so that you can easily convert your old galleries to the new version. Just run the “Convert Flash Album 1 to 2” command and you are ready!
  • Rich Property Inspector for DreamweaverThe property inspector in Dreamweaver now offers a richer set of options so that you can customize you gallery after it is generated so it fits your site perfectly.
  • Fast loadingThe componenet is only 40k and has an intelligent image pre-loader
  • Intuitive navigationClear thumbnails and multiple navigation options and keyboard commands (left and right arrows to switch between the images) provide an optimal user experience. 
  • Customizable interface  Set text color, frame color and width, navigation position.
  • Cross platform (requires Flash 7 or higher).Runs on all browsers

Flash Album Generator

July 14, 2005 by Colin Jackson
This is a great addition to my tool kit! This extension enabled me to get a clients picture gallery on-line in minutes. The instructions are detailed and the GUI is very easy to use I have created image galleries in Flash before, and it took me hours to do! This is well worth the purchase.

Definately adds a well needed level of control to this great Flash Gallery. Not having to edit the xml file manually is worth the cash outlay for this great extension. George, I'd love to see the ability to change the type size of the descriptions, and would go crazy over the ability to change the size and resolution of the image as well. Seeing as this hooks into Fireworks, I can see that happening at some point. These minor things aside, I holeheartedly endorse the purchase of this great product. My productivity is increasing in a way that goes right to my bottom line...offering high-impact galleries to my customers in a very time efficient way. Thanks, George...oh, and btw, a GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE experience too. I had some issues with the Mac version....George fixed the problem and had me up and running in under 3 hours. KUDOS!!!!!

Another Professional Extension !

July 15, 2005 by Marcellino Bommezijn
Have been using all of the DMXZONE extensions from the start and decided to add this extension to my collection also. The extension interface is intuitive as always and guides you through all necessary steps to create your flash album. Enough options to fit within any website design (colors, fonts, size) and therefore a great addition in offering webcustomers a professional looking and (fast)working flash photo album.

Also for personal use it is really great. Converted already some of my holiday photos into the flash photo album instead of those common HTML photo albums.

I LUV it
