How to make a Flash Thumbnail Gallery for Your Website?

The tutorial will show you how to make a Flash Thumbnail Gallery for Your Website with Wondershare Flash SlideShow Builder. Wondershare Flash SlideShow Builder is the ultimate photo presentation utility to create stunning Flash slideshows or Flash photo galleries. It outputs slideshows as the Macromedia Flash file format (SWF) which you can embed the slideshow on your own site. The detailed steps are as follows:

Step 1 Download and install Wondershare Flash SlideShow Builder.

Step 2 Import photos and music
Add the photos and music for your own collection. You can simply drag-n-drop the photos to the Story Board or click the “Add Image” button above Story Board to add photos. Adding music is also easy. Just click the “Add Music” button besides “Add Image” button.


Step 3 Theme
Select a themed template as you like or customize one by yourself with inspiration in “Theme” Mode. Nearly 100 various styles of ready-to-use templates are available for you to use. Just pick one or customize a new theme of your own.


Step 4 Effect
Set the stunning transition effects & Pan/Zoom effects. There are more than 200 effects available to use. I like all of them. So wonderful. For one like me who don’t have much time to set effect for each photo, there is a button “Randomize All” allowing you to set the effects to each picture randomly.


Step 5 Decorate
Add wordart, clipart, funny sound, etc. for each photo here.


Step 6 Publish
There are various publish options for you. Here we publish as flash files for example. Click “create SWF Movie” to publish.


Step 7 Since now, the flash is completed. What’s left is just upload it to your website and copy the code in your webpage. First, you need to upload the SWF file(s) to your own webhost or an external webhost. After uploaded the SWF file(s) to a webhost successfully, simply add the following code to your webpage. Do remember to replace the .swf file path "http://www.flash-slide-show.com/demo.swf" in the following code with your own path and filename. You also need to change the code width="800" height="600" if your flash size is not 800*600.

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="800" height="600">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.flash-slide-show.com/demo.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<embed src="http://www.flash-slide-show.com/demo.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="800" height="600"></embed>
</object>

OK. All is done. Now you can share your flash thumbnail gallery with your families and friends anytime you want.
