Flash Image Gallery is a great application to publish your photos, it has many features and effects to your photos, but use it more easily than other gallery scripts just as Gallery, 4images … only thing you must do which is embed it to your website.
In my opinion it is divided into 2 main types: Flash Image Owner Hosted Gallery (the author upload their photos to their hosting) and Flash Image Services Hosted Gallery (e.g: images from Flickr, Picasa..) that name is set by me, so it may be different if you want.
Flash Image Services Hosted Gallery
There are many photo sharing services on the internet but only 2 services share and store images more users which is Flickr and Picasa, of course I will refer to 2 for this service.
FlashFlickr PhotoGallery
A photogallery made in Flex2/AS3 using Flickr API. This application let users to browse your flickr pictures, see your sets, tags and notes. It’s also implemented the flickr authentication for flickr registered user. In this way registered users can also add comments, tags (if allowed) to your images.
The Flash XML Gallery
offers a flexible solution for integration of multiple albums into one single gallery. The script can integrate popular photo sharing communities such as Flickr and Picasa. You can use a wide range of transition effects.

I was originally going to use this for my online portfolio, but I ended up going for something completely different.

Hey, nice post, really well written. You should write more about this.
Ok, when can we read a continue?
Cool post, just subscribed.
Cognitive, but not convincing. What it lacks, but that does not understand. But I will say straight: – light and benevolent thoughts..
Hi! I like your article and I would like very much to read some more information on this issue. Will you post some more?
Is there no flash image gallery with zoom function för large images (like maps)?
Check out flash image gallery – Exposé 4!
@Exposé 4 and Question: I will list it in next topic, I forget whether it was used :)
This is really beautiful. Inspiration by the design literally!
This is really cool.. wen i checked galleries on other sites i was amazed.. now i know whether the inspiration came from.. specially the picasa one is ready-to-use supercool app!
very good
thx
I had real problems installing DFGallery 2 on our webserver and so far I have failed.
I could get it to work using WAMP on my pc but not on my Justhost website.
browsing to the website/dfgallery everything validates except one line.
Lots of people get this “Invalid cURL response. We expected ‘true’ from the url”.
There is no support on this just several competing fixes on the forum which worked for some people.
You need to understand curl and .htaccess files and mod_rewrite – not too easy for a web newbie
Why do you not try Flash Photo Gallery, it has most features similar with dfGallery
Awesome gallery!I love all.Well i like to learn Flash and i m searching for some good tools and tutorials.So i will look forward for more information.
