Nothing fancy yet, I'm just skirmishing with this at the moment.

This site is classic ASP - all xml is machine generated. I've had a bit of trouble as flash is inherently not CSS, so it's a little less flexible than it might be. But you can't have everything.

Here's the site map. Probably over the top, but it shows you can run two players in parallel. Later I'll probably remove one of them.

Then there's some general commerical stuff. This demonstrates a single page (slideshow2) here taking parameters which are passed to the xml/ show etc (look at the url). Here's the same thing again with a slightly different style sheet (there's a bit of ASP which creeps up the directory tree to pick out the style sheet).

And then my snowboarding stuff... again a different style sheet, but also different main page as I couldn't do it off the above without open-heart surgery in the ASP which I didn't want to do. Specifically you can't change the background colour of the flash movie from CSS. I tried crafting some ASP to read the colour of some CSS-styled object, then use this to pass into the flash at object create time... but in the end I decided that life is too short and I just cut this page separately.

All use auto-generated XML files as I just want to be able to drop my images into directories.

My ASP also generates start and end rectangles for the Ken Burns stuff (see other thread), but I've some problems making that work at the moment which maybe need 1.2 or something. I intend to use that to get around the general "can't easily show portrait and landscape images against the same frame" problem.

Maybe I'll play with the albums later, although I'm not sure that's hugely useful to me.

I've some ASP I use elsewhere which I wrote to pull IPTC ("exif") data from images. Maybe I'll use that for captioning as that could be squirted out with the rest of the XML. PS/CS2 strips IPTC data on "save for web" however, so you have to put it back in by hand which is a drag.

When I'm bored I'll download the trial version of Flash MX to convert a logo of mine into an SFW for the overlay thing. That said, I still need basic watermarking I think - I found another image thieving site today with my stuff on it.

Otherwise, I will do some "soundslides" stuff using this I think... IIRC that's why I got this in the first place.
