Topic: editing swf file for multiple galleries

Hello, I am newbie with flash. I have read several post about having multiple galleries. It all seems to be doable as others have expressed. In order to have multiple galleries it seems as though multiple *.xml files need to be created then called? Next it seems that the xmlGallery.swf needs to be edited? If so, how is this done and what needs to be done?

Thanks in advance for your help

Re: editing swf file for multiple galleries

Yes, you need to have multiple xml files - one for each of your galleries.  You only need to have one swf file, and you do not need to modify it.

For each of you galleries, pass a variable to xmlGallery.swf like this:
so.addVariable("file_to_load", "yourxml.xml");

This line goes right before so.write line in your html.

Re: editing swf file for multiple galleries

For each of the embed tags you need to have a separate so.addVariable call. You should also have a new name for each instance of the swfOblect: so1, so2, etc.

Here's a post that details setting up multiple slideshowson one page, with code samples. http://www.flashnifties.com/support/vie … php?id=127
The method for the gallery would be the same.
