Either in front of a computer or behind a camera.
Okay, have this idea for my website (mariposaprod.com) I want the photo gallery to be like the attached photo (from Apple's NAB video) with photos instead of words. The user would move his/her mouse right or left to spin the "cylinder" and click an image to enlarge it. How would I go about doing this? Is it even a good idea? I am pretty new @ flash... so yeah. Help?

Not sure where to start with that.. but that's no beginner project. That's massive ActionScript coding and objects.
 
Oh wow. Yeah, actionscript is Flash's coding language. You need to learn it if you're going to do much in flash. It would control EVERYTHING in the example you showed. Definitely not a beginner project.
 
Almost impossible. I tried to do a photo gallery on my Flash site, and :eek:. The quality was just.. down.

And that's definitely for no beginner. Only a master at Flash can do that, if it's even possible, like LimeiBook86. :) ;)
 
I would love to help and I love a good challenge, but unfortunately, I am hard pressed for time even for my own project (my sig). I hope you can find someone capable for your website :)

Hey, thanks for at least offering.

I just really want to do something different to my site. Its soo boring (I literally spent about a hour on the whole thing) and adding some flash content seems like the way to go. Nothing fancy... simple stuff, like the buttons on Apple's pro site.
Does anyone have any ideas?
 
I did a similiar thing with moving pictures... when u moused over an image the group of images rotated around. I did it simply with tweens and

on (mouseover) {
gotoAndPlay("Front-Gardens", 15);
}

//where that would be the next move of the image thing
 
I will develop what you want for a jet. So you show me you can affoard to purchase the jet, and then I'll get started. :D

Oh, and in my opinion Simple Viewer sucks. You can get the same effects and better out of an ajax viewer and not require the flash plugin.

I would be glad to purchase you a jet. Let me know which one you want. Here is the catalogue. :D

I am still in the process of finishing before i upload... it should be up within 2 weeks if u dont mind waiting. i can send u along the link then. if u need it sooner i might be able to temp upload.
 
Simple Viewer for large amounts of photos.
Or just scroll panes with buttons, if you only want a few. That's what I did. It was a lot of tedious work, though. http://seenew.net

Good luck.
