Just found this through www.smashingmagazine.com , if you do any of your own website design and don't read Smashing, DO IT. 'nuff said.

dfGallery downlaod page

I think the fist bullet is pretty interesting. Site getting too bandwidth heavy, just host them elsewhere and this will automatically grab them from the other sites that are compatible. Can't wait to start using this thing. Just need to find the time.

Main features are:

# Flash Gallery to support both Flickr , Picasa , Fotki, Photobucket and Custom Images.
# Enable / Disable â��Print Screenâ�� ( requested by Photographers )
# Easily Customizable
# Full Screen mode. ( on the Right Click - Flash Player 9)
# Supports both RSS and Custom Images.
# Liquid Layout - Fits to any size you specify.
# Background MP3 music.
# Multiple language support.
# Notifies if a new update is available.
# â�¦ and its FREE

Interesting, it's a total ripoff of Slideshow Pro - but free.

Not really, last time I checked, Slideshow Pro was a Adobe Flash plugin, while this is written and controlled with XML instead, opening things up to people who don't have hundreds for Flash CS3, and don't do bittorrent.

so, copy of style, but completely different in implementation.

True, I was referring to the result, not the procedure of creating the gallery. I haven't tried the dfgallery, but had I been presented with the choice, I would definately have given it a try prior to buying SSP, but I think it was a good investment nonetheless.

SSP certainly does get you a lot more features, so there's no serious damage to their business model, and their Director product would make managing a gallery that gets changed often completely worth the cost. But for us goons without the need for such a thing, I think it's a bit much, thus why I never went with it.

I'm going to try to use dfG on my site soon, and I'll probably report back here once I get something live.

Just a note: the Flash ActionScript 3 compiler is free in Adobe's Flash SDK; and who wants to use a stupid IDE anyway? =)

Nice link. I might have to try and make one myself, because that's the fun of it. =)

Man_Called_Horse, it should work with most blogs that support the kimili flash plugin. To install that, you'll have to host the blog on your own server though.
I've got SlideShow Pro running on my Wordpress blog.
