There is an AMAZING scorlling thumbnail gallery video tutorial at gotoandlearn.com.

Also, search this forum because I'm sure I've uploaded several XML gallery examples.

Hey...

I just did these for another poster. Take a look at them and let me know if you need help tweaking the code to fit your needs.

Example 1. XML Driven Photo Gallery with Controls & Captions (http://www.designsbyvishal.com/demos/galleries/example1.html)
Example 2. XML Driven Photo Gallery with Controls, Captions & Scrolling Thumbnails (http://www.designsbyvishal.com/demos/galleries/example2.html)
Example 3. XML Driven Photo Gallery with Controls & Captions (on a Timer) (http://www.designsbyvishal.com/demos/galleries/example3.html)

All three have the same basic functionality (as shown in example 1) -- a previous button, a next button, and a "jump to" button (which allows you to jump to any image in the XML array).

HTH

Vishal, do you happen to have these files handy as well. The links are broken :D

[Medyman]

I'll see if I can dig them up. They should be on my server somewhere.

Thanks, there's no rush.

Can I get a copy of those XML Gallery files too? I also tried to look at them and the site is not up today.

Alright alright...I tracked them down. I'll stop being lazy and move them on my server.

Here they are:

These are quite old. I haven't rechecked any of the AS. So, if you have any doubts/questions, please ask. I might have newer and cooler tricks up my sleeve now ;) Also, feel free to disregard the copyright. Everything is released under Creative Commons Noncommercial 3.0 Unported License.
