After searching through various flash galleries and trying to decide how I’d like my Lightbox to work, I stumbled upon this flash gallery that fit all my desired criteria: simple, sleek, not distracting, etc.

I stumbled upon this early this weekend. I’ve used it and it works well for photo websites, but I have not moved my files using FileZilla as of yet to my Just Host. Hopefully later in the week I will be able to properly move it (I seem to really have a problem with this step of every lab) and it will be up and running at my site, www.emilycap.com

My site is pretty basic. The font and layout are intentionally bare bones to best showcase my photos. This particular feature is just basically a flash gallery. I mostly like how simple it is, showcasing the thumbnails on the bottom of the screen and the main image larger. Nothing jumps out of your screen at the viewer, and there is not a confusing thumbnail cache that the viewer can barely make out. Furthermore, the navigation is easy and a viewer can choose to view the gallery in full screen mode (which can be really important to viewing photos properly).

The site to download the flash player gallery can be found at http://www.realitysoftware.ca/portfolio/websites/flashgallery/
It integrates easily from Flikr, so there is is no real file moving hassle. I really like it, and it has been pretty simple to use!

Hope this is some help of all of those who are deciding between Flash slide show formats or Lightbox!
