Flash gallery viewer / video viewer

[galahad2]

I need to find a Flash gallery viewer that can display still images but also, when the user clicks on that image, can kick off a corresponding FLV file which plays as a video, either where the image was or in its own window on the same page. It needs to be as straightforward as possible for end-users.

Ideally it should have the form of a "pack of cards" i.e users can flip from one "card" to the next, back and forth, perhaps using two controls for left and right to browse one way or the other. The stack of images and videos behind them should also be searchable alphabetically or by other criteria (e.g name).

Does anyone have any ideas as to free Flash applications which can do this and which can be easily built / embedded into web pages?

Take a look at some of the repositories around the web. A google search might be enough, but you also might want to check out places such as [hotscripts.com,...] etc...

Yeah, I did take a look but still haven't found anything that does the trick unfortunately- it needs to be really simple for people to use (as in, *really* simple)

Your best bet is probably a custom built app? Maybe a freelancer?

Unfortunately I'm beginning to think that way, although the cost will be ridiculous...

It will certainly vary depending on whether you get a single freelancer or an agency. There are some excellent flash freelancers out there who might surprise you with their charges.
