I was wondering if there is anyone here who could help me implement the default version of this gallery in my site. I’m not sure how to make it work.
Thanks for your reply. I managed to get it working. I forgot to mention that I was trying to use the Flickr version.
Seems reasonably straightforward:
you upload the swf, xml file and swfobject javascript file, then embed into your page using swfobject script as per the included html file in the download.
You’ll need to edit the xml file to put in your own photos - the path for these is relative to the embedding html file rather than the swf.
well, i followed your instructions, but still cant make the gallery work with flickr. It works perfect with XML, but I need flickr version. What do I have to change in the as?? No matter what I do, it keeps reading the .xml file and getting those pics. Maybe some line has to be erased? How do I pass tags with that code you share here? I mean...it doesnt work without that html code???
Thank you SO MUCH!
hello Im just wondering if anybody could help me with what Im trying to do, instead of using html i would like to integrate the polaroid gallery in a flash file that im doing I did tried opening it as an .swf file but the problem is its not loading properly and blinking instead I tried loading it as a movieclip in my frame.
Hope somebody could help me with these issue.
Thanks in advance
Add this to the <head> making sure to add your own path to where the file is located:
<script type="text/javascript" src="[B][COLOR="RoyalBlue"]pathtothisfile[/COLOR][/B]/swfobject.js"></script>
Add this to your web page where you want the gallery to show up, again making sure to add your own path to where the .swf file is located and your own Flickr ID:
<div id="fullscreendemo">
<strong>This site requires Flash Player 8.0 or greater</strong><br />
Please click <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/">here</a> to download.<br />
If you are sure you have the required version, press this link: <a href="readme.html?detectflash=false">bypass the detection</a>.
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
var so = new SWFObject("[B][COLOR="RoyalBlue"]pathtothisfile[/COLOR][/B]/polaroid.swf", "polaroid", "960px", "650px", "8", "#FFFFFF");
so.addVariable("flickrID","[B][COLOR="RoyalBlue"]addyourflickeridhere[/COLOR][/B]");
so.write("fullscreendemo");
//]]>
</script>
Be sure to add the files from the “Download” section on this site: http://www.no3dfx.com/polaroid/ and note the path so you can add it correctly in the code above. Also, you can change the dimensions of the gallery. I have mine set to 960px wide and 650px high.
That’s it!
Hope this helps. Even though you’ve got part of it working, I gave all the steps so that anyone else who might come along will have everything they need.
Hello,
I am wondering if you could share how you were able to get it to work. I have been playing around with the polaroid gallery for a little while now and cannot get it to work. I get the background to show up, but the pictures won’t load. I am sure it is something small that I am overlooking. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
I got it working! Thanks for the help!
