Photo Ruffle 2 - xml image galleries

Hi,

I apologize for the delay of my answer (lots of custom work during the last weeks…).

At the moment there’s no automatic flv support for the photos content (I mean loading an flv directly as the content of a photo).
You can load a video/flv in an swf and then load this as the photo content (as I did in the demo, in the Flash Gallery), and you can then add controls to it as well, since you cann use an interactive swf… but I understand this is not a quick solution.

Anyway… I already added flv support in the ToDo list of future versions.. hope I wil be able to make an update soon.

thanks for your prompt reply. Look forward your update with the flv play function.

Hi BluegestaltX I am trying to use external flv players recently, but we had similar situation as the others. We failed to do that. May i have your email address so that I can send you the video players we are using? thx. Or you can email me at harry.lu@sindrax.com

Hi, sorry for the delay of my answer, and thanks for your purchse!

So, you have created an swf wich loads an flv and displays it with video controls, and then loaded this swf as the content of a photo? Basically it should work, but it may depend on how you have created this swf.

Can you send me an email with this fla you made, so I can check it?

Anyway… as I said in the comment above, I already added flv support in the ToDo list of future versions.. hope I wil be able to make an update soon.

Hi Mario,

you are right… the previous version has an editor for the xml.
I would like to insert it again it, but since it was requiring a lot of work to keep it updated (v.2.5 bring a major change in the XML ) I had to exclude it to be able to release it without waiting too much.

And.. honestly, I haven’t received so much feedback for the editor, so I believed that not so many customers was really interested into it.
But.. will do my best to reintroduce it as soon as possibile, since it just needs to be updated for v.2.5

thanks for your purchase! ...and glad that you managed to fix your problem

Hi valeriabond, thanks for your interest in my software!

Yes, you can choose to have the thumbs scrolling automatically with just the mouse movment, or to have a “scroll handle” on the right of the screen to scroll the page (that will appear only if needed).

Anyway, you can check this in the demo (where the scroll handle mode is enabled) just opening a gallery with some photos (like the polaroid gallery) and then stretching your browser window until the photos goes out (always in “ordered” mode) and the handle appears.

Hi mordecai,

sorry for the delay of my answer.

Unfortunately you can’t align “macrogalleries” when orderd in the middle of the app area at the moment, but I will add an option for that in the next update for sure (hope to be able to release it within June).

Hi, thanks for your purchase!

If you can edit the AS3 code and compile the swf again from Flash then just open PhotoRuffle.as, and go at line 948.
Just add this line of code after that line:

galleriesSelector.x = 100;

or write the pixel value you want to shift the menu to.

hi, sent you an email now!

Hi Zeev, thanks for your interest in my software!

- just one gallery
sure

- No download button
yes, you can disable all the interface elements from the XML

- Text in the back (or in the front) of the full size image
If you mean the caption then the answer is yes.
But only the Polaroid can have the caption/text on their back. The “normal” photos will show the caption below them (with or without a containing box)

- Click on the full size image – go to the image target link
At the moment a link can only be added in the caption text, not in the photo itself. But I will think on how to add this feature for a next release (may be useful for others as well)

- Can I see the xml files, in order to understand the full set of configuration parameters?
Sure, please send me an email and I will send you the help manual pdf.

Hi valeriabond, thanks for your purchase!

I’m sorry you can’t have a different audio file for each gallery at the moment… I will try anyway to add this feature in a next update if I can.

hi, thanks for your purchase!

The application can show Chinese characters if the correct font is embedded within the swf (so just add the font you prefer which includes a Chinese characters subset).

There is a paragraph in the help manual about embedding the fonts in the swf, but if you have problems doing this you can always send me an email.
