To amend Flash Gallery 1 (may work for Gallery 2 but I’ve not checked) open Photos.xml and toward the top of the page your looking for the tag called ’sitename’. Overwrite the text between the tags, save, the open in your browser (or refresh the page if the browser’s already open). That worked for me. Best of luck, Dave

Not sure what the text is you’re talking about (looks like your comment is truncated) but I’d try to edit any text before generating the gallery. As for the image, I think you can do it just by inserting the image code above everything else in the HTML file’s body tag.

Hey Jeremy,

Please forgive a rookie question but is there a way to edit the html index page generated by my cs3 flash gallery? (see: www.edgewatercottage.net if you are curious) I just want to add a simple gif logo to the top of the page and edit the text fields that are now tagged with

Yes, you can align a Flash gallery to the left (or top-left), but the nature of Adobe’s Flash galleries can make it problematic.

Here’s how it’s done: look in the index.htm file, at or around line 139 for this:

var myFlashObject = new FlashObject(”gallery.swf”, “gallery”, “100%”, “100%”, 6, “#ffffff”);

This is what controls the width, height and positioning of the Flash movie which controls the gallery. It’s different than regular XHTML, which would control positioning with CSS. The two “100%” attributes control width and height, respectively. If you give either attribute a set value the gallery will snap to the left or top. For example, changing the first attribute to “300″ puts the gallery on the left side of the page. Changing both attributes puts it at the top-left.

Some Flash galleries, however, don’t have static widths or heights and that can cause a problem when the gallery is at the top-left. Some Flash galleries change shape if images have various widths and orientations, and the gallery resizes from the center (not the top-left corner of the Flash movie) so some movies actually resize right off the page. You’ll need to experiment to find the right values for your Flash gallery.

Good luck from one Jeremy to another,

Jeremy

I haven’t tried CS3’s web gallery tools yet, but I will have to if the reports of bugs and deficiencies are true…

PS CS3 flash web galleries failure: mostly empty photo frames; rendering landscape and portrait jpegs from Bridge and CS3; large image frame very small. CS2 never exihibited this behavior.
