Converting a .swf file with embedded jpgs to a .swf file that uses AS3/xml to call images from an external folder?
Hi!
I am basically trying to convert the current gallery pages in the "Projects" category page from a single Flash .swf file with embedded jpgs to a .swf file that used xml/actionscript 3 to call the images from an external folder.
Here is the original Flash site:
http://jhara.com
I am looking for help/tutorial for a flash/xml gallery with the following features:
action script 3
xml
no thumbnails
highlighted photo number indicator (1 of 10)
next and previous buttons to other photo galleries in the xml file
Most off the shelf solutions use thumbnail sliders but I am looking for a simpler solution with number indicators instead. I thought it'd be easy to find since it is not a dynamic solution, but its harder than I thought!
Any assistance or leads is greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the lead. By chance do you know if you can be custom modify the layout of the gallery/navigation in these templates? Or is it set and only the background color, font, etc are options you can change?

Thanks quizengine!
In the end, I felt it was cleaner to just have the code written from scratch instead of having someone modify a template. I posted at elance.com and received numerous proposals, one ending up currently working on the project. Can't wait to see the end result in action!

Cool. I hope your Elance project works out well.
Remember that even those that have thumbnails may well have an option in a config.xml (or similar) to turn them off.
