Image Gallery 3
Description:
For this image gallery exercise I chose to remake a popular Actionscript 2 image gallery called Autoviewer. This exercise also provides me a way further customize the visuals and functionality of this gallery. For me, Autoviewer is a good gallery for viewing sequential images such as a photo essay. I did not like the way Autoviewer renders text on the screen such as the current image number. As of now I have not implemented any text.
This image gallery reads an xml file that is formatted exactly like Autoviewer’s xml format (example xml file). Therefore, someone could easily transition from Autoviewer to my new AS3 gallery.
The gallery also supports full screen mode and browsing with the keyboard (except while in full screen mode [which is a bug i want to fix]).
The photos in the demo gallery are a photo essay I created for a class called Social Documentation at UC Santa Cruz. In short, this photo essay documents an event that occurred in the Porter Bridge Gallery at UC Santa Cruz in April 2006. For ten days, the gallery was transformed into a creative living space. The highlight of this event was a family of five who lived at the space for the entire duration.
