Any tips for photo gallery/slideshow software?

[katemac1]

Hi there

Was wondering if any of you knew of any good software for making hassle free flash photo galleries? I want to be able to drag and drop photos from folders into it, with auto resize for thumbnails and also different skins. To be able to do video galleries would be nice too

Cost can be anything up to about £50 / $100

I've found a few online like coffee cup and Flash slideshow maker but would liek a recommendation

Thanks in advance

Does it have to be in flash? 'Cause you could use Lightbox which is a tiny bit of JS

[katemac1]

Thanks Karinne, unfortunately we are using a *rubbish* CMS and can't use javascript unless we pay the developers to implement it...

Will bear it in mind though

[karinne]

wow ... that is rubbish

[katemac1]

we can't make any edits to our CSS either... bah!

hey mate,

here is a URL that I have just found, I cant recommend the program as I use lightbox like suggested above, but of what I can figure out this program takes photos and creates Flash slideshow's in the Flash Format SWF

There are a few other programs out there to do this, would you be interested in just building your own? It would allow for a lot more creativity! Let me know and I'll send you in the right direction?

I would love to build my own, but I my experience of flash is really limited and with two team members down there isn't enough time in the day to sit trying to work it all out! Having just wasted an excruciating day trying to get a flash video to play on the homepage while other jobs pile up to my ears around me, i'm going for the easy option!
