"COOL" flash slidshow/image gallery

without server side scripting

[Westat1]

Does anyone one where to find a good slideshow/image gallery movie (fla). The ones I have found all have sever side scripting involved. My plan is to put this on a disk and send it to family.

Thanks,

If you want to get dirty in actionscript, look into "loadImage()" and having an external, modifyable variables text file with filenames.

Also, there exists the framework for a fine slideshow with fade on Macromedia's tutorials for Trio Motors.

Thanks, but that requires Macromedia Flash Communications Server MX

not so-- I'm talking about FlashMX, all clientside. The Flash Player can dynamically load images and variables from external files. This can be from on a website or a CD or floppy.. anywhere.

Here's a flash dynamic slide show tutorial on macromedia:

Instead of just a variables txt file, it uses a text file of xml. Give it a whirl.

If you're not on FlashMX, then there's no hope for dynamic image load.

good luck
