The ultimate ken burns gallery has it all (V1 and V2 shown here)
Categories, Image title, Image description, Link and Mailto: capability, Thumbnail scrolling, Slide show controls.
Everything is updated through XML : set gallery width = 570; set gallery height =280; set base image scale = 150; set slide show delay = 6; set burn effect = true; set slide show loop = true; set slide show on/off = true;
You can create unlimited galleries, that house unlimited images. All the thumbnails are dynamically created and resized for you. Comes with commented code AND an extensive how to help file.
You can even turn off the Ken Burn’s effect to use it as a regular gallery that does not zoom in/out
Simple drag and drop functionality that can work as a stand alone flash piece on an html based site, or incorporated into an existing flash file. Everything is so easy.
Roll over the file to reveal the controls. All external classes included.
Does not support SWFS ! Uses bitmap imaging to create the smooth scaling effect. Sorry. If you ask, I WILL make fun of you for not reading this.
UPDATED FILE : To remove the (potentially copywritten) fonts I’ve included per philco’s suggestion – thanks! I have updated the help file to tell you where all the mc with these fonts are located in case you need/have to edit them.

Hi great stuff! Could you tell me if it is possible to turn the border and controls off completely? Secondly is it possible to set individual timings for each photo (ie I could go into the xml file and specify how long each photo should show for)?
Thanks for our help,

@simon – images should be at least the size of your gallery (if you don’t want any black to show on the sides) so, 500×280 in your example
@tim – there is no way to do it in the file, but it is certainly easy enough to delete them. you may be interested in this file
specifying the time can only be done universally (through the xml) for all images.

One more question animike,
I read “bitmap imaging” .. does this mean, the images need to be in .bmp format? or is this also working with jpeg?
sorry for many stupid questions,.. but i’m beginner.

Sorry, mistyped: it’s “galleryID”. It’s correct in my files, though. Still no luck.

@ simon – the bitmapData Constructor creates a “screenshot” so to speak of a your movie and reuses that information without have to redraw it every frame. In my movie. i am using this for the movie clips that hold the images, not the images themselves. It will work with loaded swfs, however it will just capture the first frame of whatever movie is loaded in. Hope that helps.
@ aaron – if you have experience with flashvars before, i’ll assume you are checking your html page for the proper code. The only thing I can think of that may be giving you trouble is the path to the flashVar id. the flash var is defined in the root of my movie, which happens to be “outside” the actual code. try to define a value for galleryID that looks in the root directory before even introducing flashVars. Also, be sure that when galleryID is instantiated you define it using your flashVar value, other wise it will always default to zero (its current value). Hope that helps. Please keep me posted.

I’m using this file in a vertical format, 320px wide. I’ve found that no more than four images will show up in the slideshow at this size, and the scroll doesn’t activate to access more. Any idea why this might be happening and how it could be fixed? BTW - I’ve made a wider version that works fine, so it is no fault of the xml.

Hey aaron. the one thing that confuses me is that at 320 pixels wide, you should be seeing about 6 thumbnails (assuming that you have that many). i’ve made a 320 pixel version and the scroll is active. Is there any other thing you can think of that may be an issue? try using the original xml that came with the file. let me know how it goes.
