Galleries are now using Flash
I have learned of a new component for Flash called SlideShowPro. It makes creating galleries of my photos, or anything really, very simple and easy to update.
The look of the gallery is set in Flash and it allows a lot of customization, including setting of variables with ActionScript. I can also use Event Listeners to monitor the Flash movie and create my own navigation and captions.
All of the content in the galleries is controlled with a XML file. When I want to change a caption or add additional images, even whole new galleries, I just need to upload the images and modify the text in the XML. Much simpler than having to go back to Flash. I still learning the full power of the component, but it was well worth the $20.
