Standalone Flah gallery

[mike.online]

Hi all,

This is something that has been bothering me about the lightroom web tab for a while, and I figure it Must have been figured out by now, and i'm just too dim to bee able to find a fix.

I publish a blog, and I find it a pain to have 20 photos to put in one piece of writing - it makes the blog post really long and hard to see previous entries if you have to scroll forever. However, if I had a good flash gallery to embed then I wouldn't have to worry about, right?

My problem is that when you generate a flash gallery from lightroom it creates a whole page for the flahs document, and then make the fla resize to the whole page (which is great for its indented purpose). I however, would like to have a flash document genterated to a set sze, and just be able to drop it onto my blog page.

any ideas ? is this something that just hasn't happened yet ?

many thanks,
- Michael

That's one of the great strengths of Flash to adapt seamlessly to any size, so I'd suggest you to :
- export a flash gallery in a HTML page as usual,
- embed the SWF (don't forget images and thumbs folder and the necessary stuff like resources/sj scripts) within a container of fixed size on your blog page.
I know it's a bit easier to say than to do... But it shouldn't be undoable.

that thought occurred to me, although it is a bit of a pain in the ass, given the frequency at which i'm blogging these days. I'm really surprised there isn't a plain old fixed window plugin.
