Hi All. Let me tell you how to create a photo gallery in Adobe Flex. Just download the PhotoShow.rar project folder from the box that appears at the extreme bottom of this blog and follow the below things.
Project Details:
1)This “PhotoShow” project is a simple image gallery created in Flex.
2)This gallery includes Flex UI components Image Control and Link Button.
a)Image Control – to display image(Expanded) and image thumbnails
b)Link Button – to show/hide image thumbnails
3)This gallery uses built-in effects in Flex to improve the aesthetics of Image and thumbnails.
Follow these steps to run PhotoShow project in Flex Builder:
1) Open the Code folder and copy all the files.
2) Create a new project in Flex Builder and paste the those files inside the newly created Flex project folder.
3)Replace the already existing files(if any) in the newly created project folder with the copied files.
4)Save the project and run the PhotoShow.mxml file.
How it works?
1) Run photoshow.mxml file.
2) Click show thumbnails link button in the bottom left corner of the image.
3) Now thumbnails get visible. Click any thumbnail to view it fully.
4) Click hide thumbnails to make thumbnails invisible.

Hey man thats great…i like it and i think its very helpfulll…i just saw the video yet and have one questions…Are you populating thumbnails by hard codes or by a loop…what i mean is if i change or add pictures into a folder on my webserver, will it update/add/delete those pictures from the thumbnail list?????
good tool though
Hi Zahid, Thank you for showing interest in this photo gallery post in my blog. Regarding the question you asked, i hard coded the pictures in the thumbnails in the photo gallery. But it is no big deal to dynamically change the pictures in the thumbnail whenever the pictures are updated in the web server.
Thanks…can you please posts some example…regrading dynamically getting pictures from a folder on a web server or from a directory…
