New in Flash Album Generator Version 2
All the great features from version 1 of the extension, like the DW integration and the rich set of gallery options stay the same.
We have build in our own Flash Gallery Viewer and no longer use the third party components.
This allows us to provide you with a new rich set of options without requiring any additional products! Everything is now integrated in one extension.
The new Flash Gallery Viewer from DMXzone includes the following new features:
- Gallery images are loaded on demandThis is a huge difference between the old and the new version as the old version always loaded the full gallery even if the user just viewed a few photos. Now everything is loaded on demand with a nice progress.
- Thumbnails with popup effect, rounded corners and shadowsNow your thumbnails look even cooler with sweet rouded corners, alpha shadows and slick popup effect.
- Gallery images and thumbnails are better alignedIt is much easier now to align your images and thumbnails by just specifying how much space the main image takes from the viewer – the rest is calculated automatically.
- Gallery and image titles are now displayed much betterThe gallery title is now always on the top side of your main image in the viewer and the image title is always below it.
- Rich set of image transitionsNow you can choose from 12 different image effects for the transitions between the photos. You can also choose to use them all by selecting the random option.
- More options for the thumbnails viewYou can customize the thumbnails even further with more colors to suit your design.
- Smart thumbnails stripThe thumbnails layout has been improved so they fit the available space.
- Extended error checking and reportingNow when something is wrong with your xml or if images are missing on your server you get much better and more user friendly error messages.
- Easy conversion from the
previous versionWe provide a new command in DW so that you can easily
convert your old galleries to the new version. Just run the “Convert Flash Album 1 to 2” command and you are ready!
