Anyone know of any templates or flash gallery's that can load the .swf pano's to either imbed in other pages or have as a standalone gallery?

Anything easy and simple yet very attractive?

I'm looking to build a small gallery for each virtual tour of homes... anyone can help point me in the right direction?

I see tones of beautiful, simple, flash galleries but after searching for 6 hours today none of them mention if they support .swf objects...

Thanks Thomas, seems like a good gallery but i may have to make some major changes to it for my real estate tours when i make my site...but i am no coder:(

I have also found a really great flash/php one that is very simple to set up with amazing indxing and playing of all media types and it can be imbedable on other pages! The problem is i cannot get pano2vr flash 9 pano's to load in it... it days it is capable of showing .swf's etc and you can even see them on their example site. Flash 8 pano's work on it but the image gets forced into upper left corner of page and also the pano's actually becomes slices images when rotating :(

If anyone could help me try and see what the problem is? Maybe take a look at it's coding? I'm no pro at coding but i know it is fairly simple, i just have no background in it...

You guys may also love this player/viewer too if you can get it to work, it is free to try, only requirement is a small tony question mark box that points to their website...

Here is the site of the viewer, check it out! http://www.flashnifties.com/media_gallery.php
Here is the demo-file, simply upload to a diectory online, put video in videos folder etc etc, it does all the indexing/naming for you...

Hmm, in order to open a swf you have to specify a thumbnail (jpg) with a link to the swf.
What about export your thumbnail placeholder in jpg from Lightroom (use a template from www.lightroomgalleries.com) to a gallery, and later on you can exchange the links of the thumbnails to the swf panos?

I am not familiar with lightroom really...

What i am looking for is just a simple gallery, maybe flash based so it can be embedable in other peoples websites, that can display the pano2vr outputs/swf's, and have some type of slide/tabs or thumbnails built in, maybe even background music player... one that isfairly easy where i just have to upload .swf pano's to the directory's etc...

Have a look at http://www.JAlbum.net and the template repository at http://jalbum.net/skins. If you don't find anything ask in the forum of JAlbum.

There is a recent skin/template for DevalVR:
http://jalbum.net/skins/skin/MatrixPano

Or search in skins for "swf", the first result is "Chamäleon" from http://lazaworx.com/chameleon/ - if it doesn't do what you intend ask the author to modify the template.
