How to create website thumbnail gallery
Recently I have seen lots of flash web thumbnail galleries on websites, they’re very attractive. So I just think how about that I make my own galleries to show my business. Many people included me think that making a flash is a very difficult thing for those who don’t know flash skills, but I should say this is not the case after tried some flash software.
- Here's what you'll need:
- Wondershare Flash Slideshow Builder or Wondershare Flash Gallery Factory
- Digital photos and music
Step 1: Import your photos & add background music
You can import the photos which are pre-processed before by using some professional Image Processing Tool, say Photoshop, or just import the original photos then process them with the built-in editing tool, which include some basic functions like crop, rotate, filter, etc by double clicking the images on the Story Board. Add a bunch of your favorite music to make your photo album more beautiful. Especially, you can add a hyperlink for each photo here.
Step 2: Select "Flash slideshow template"
Choose a favorite template from “template” Tab. Check the box “Include Intro Movie and Credit Movie” to edit the intro/end credits. Want to see more stunning templates, you can visit:

Step 3: Set "Flash Slideshow Effect"
More than 100 transition and pan/zoom effects are available to use. After set all effects for each images, right click on one photo on the Story Board to set the “Duration Setting”. Set “Picture Duration” as 4.5 sec and “Transition Duration” as 2 sec, and then check the option “Apply all settings to all pictures”.
Step 4: "Decorate" your photo gallery with texts
Click “New Text” to add texts, select font, size, color, text effect, etc. for your photos. Here I select Font “Eras Light”, Size “22”, Color “Light Orange”, Effect “Fade”.
Step 5: "Publish" flash thumbnail gallery
Modify some “Publish Settings” to make the flash greeting e-cards the best. Click “Publish Settings”, first change the Slideshow Size as the same as your photos’ size then other settings like play control, preloader, you can just leave them if you don’t need to change. Here I select “Square” preloader in “Preloader” Tab. After done these, click “Create SWF Movie” to publish your flash greeting e-cards.
Guess you don’t believe that make a flash photo album is so easy before. So wanna a try? Just follow the steps and building your own awesome flash photo album with Flash Slideshow Builder or Flash Gallery Factory.
Tips:
1. If the music duration doesn’t match slideshow, you can add or trim the background music to make them fit. Click “Edit Music” on the tool bar above Story Board in “Browse” Tab, or just double click the area underneath Story Board and modify the music.
2. Modify text effect duration to make it best fit. After choose “fade” text effect in “Decorate” Tab, set the text delay as 1 sec to make the text display 1 sec later after image.
3. Set a hyperlink for each image. Double Click the image on the Story Board, then click “hyperlink” tab and input the URL.
