Right now I’m working on a project for the Main Street Art Gallery in Carrboro, NC. The site is here:
http://CarrboroArtGallery.com
I setup a top banner for the gallery that shows a transition between a few different images and some accompanying text. This is displayed at the top of the web pages. Then I setup an image wall, a 3D Photo Wall, made up of photos that I took from the art gallery, photos of the Art, Antique Pottery and other Antiques.
Currently, I’m trying to figure out why this component is giving me an error when the application tries to load the full-size images. These application begins by loading a set of thumbnail images. I’ve specified a glow when you move the mouse over a thumbnail image and many numerous other settings were tweaked to get a particular look. The application has images, thumbnail images, zoom in to view. Then when you move your mouse over the image, you get a glow around the thumbnail. When you click on the image, it zooms in to view just that particular image, in full size.
The problem I am currently having with the application is that when one clicks on the thumbnail image, that’s when an error is coming up. This is a commercial application that was developed for Flash, that I am using, meaning some of the code was developed by the fokes at Flashloaded.com. So, I’ve turned to their support forum for ideas.
As a web developer, I don’t mind starting my work by using some components that were developed by someone else. It’s just a matter of some part of the larger whole of what I am developing, involves the use of a component that someone else developed. I suppose I’ll try harder to make my own components available so that others can use those components as part of a whole for what they are developing. In developing applications for the web and for the desktop, one often uses components or modules that are parts of a larger whole application.
Actually, in developing a web application, there are even more parts to the whole, as it were. There is the CSS, to style the webpages, there is the webpage itself that holds the Flash application (by Flash application, I mean something that was developed in the Flash Development environment, sometimes referred to as flash itself but that can be a misnomer, because there is the Flash player that runs the final Flash application and the Flash Development Environment used to create the Flash application). So, we’ve got the webpage holding the Flash application, the CSS to style the appearance of the web page, the Javascript used to control various web page interactive features. In addition, with this application, like the other one I described in my previous blog post, there is an xml file used to specify the images that are used in the image gallery.
