Flash Photo Album 2 is new version of Flash photo album with new features.

• It is FREE
• Dynamic Picture loading
• Easy to install and easy to change content
• Show pictures automatically with slideshow
• Integrate to any web site
• No server side scripting or database requirement
• Adds great look and functionality to your web site
• Easy to read XML based image captions and configuration file
• Ability to add custom links for each image

Released it a while ago and had some feedback and questions about custom integration to other websites and flash files. Unfortunately I haven’t got much time to tweek and answer those needs. Instead I decided to release source files under same license “Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 License”. Think this will help to some of you to figure out how it works and adjust it to your needs.

Flash Photo Album 2 depends on two external classes:

• mc_tween2.as class (need to download seperately from source) by Zeh Fernando for animations
• XMLSA class (included in package) by Max Ziebell for converting xml to simple array.

This is a handy code that I use very often in actionscript 1 and 2 to convert new lines to one new line as it is visible in html. Flash thinks them as double new lines \n\n instead of \r\n (return and new line). This code removes \n (new line) and leaves \r (return) in string.


function textToFlashTF(text) {
return text.split('\r\n').join('\r');
}


In past couple years there was great interest for Free Flash Photo Album, which is still great and much faster than any others flash photo album on the internet. But it is a bit difficult to setup, especially if you have a lot of photos to show and each photo has a title. That’s why I wrote new Flash photo album version 2 which uses xml for specifying images and customizing photo album itself.

Here are some main features of flash photo album 2:
• Dynamic Picture loading
• Easy to install and easy to change content
• Show pictures automatically with slideshow
• No server side scripting or database requirement
• Easy to read XML based image captions and configuration file
• Ability to add custom links for each image

This is a really simple but attractive flash website of Javier Ferrer Vidal , Spanish photographer. Site contains 2 sections about page with video animation playing related to mouse location and movement. Which gives you feeling of rotating 3d object. Video is a bit crappy because is full screen and requires a lot of computer CPU and memory to play smoothly. And portfolio page, which I like most, loads external images and moves as a 3D cloud of images. I like that 3D feeling and small circle particles place holding before images are loaded.

Also it blurs background as you navigate into each section. Which is also cool feeling focusing on front objects. And the home page is designed like a magazine cover also having the 3D effect. Site is also featured on Favourite website awards today, as a site of the day.

Recently I was looking for funky navigation to make www.margiana.com web site interesting. And found several dynamic flash tutorials and distributed source codes. (more…)

There are plenty of web sites using some kind of text typing effects. I always wandered how it is done. Searching for solution I found sample typewriter actionscript at http://proto.layer51.com/d.aspx?f=493 . Wich was really compact and clear. Also some time ago one of my friends asked me to help with his text efect that types new text, shows random characters from text, random underscores and hyphens and if there is some existing text show it descending. I did it then but cann’t remember how. Because there also I adjusted some existing code. (more…)
