Drag and Drop Flash Polaroid Photo Gallery

CC License, Gallery

Leave a Comment

Christopher Einarsrud was intended to develop a flash photo gallery called Polaroid Gallery for his online portfolio in year 2006, but he ended up going for something completely different. He thought that it might come in handy for someone else, so he decided to release it as a free and open source flash gallery for everyone. All the photos are displayed as Polaroid Photos, you can move them around with your mouse. You can also double click on each photo to zoom in. Polaroid Gallery looks so fresh and stunning that I would like to have one too.

hey, works great! and I’m no programmer!

just remember to resize the pictures to the script propotions (464 x 450) and you’ll be fine.

someone should take this concept further!

There needs to be a way to close the currently viewed pic because once you double-click a picture, you need to step through each photo.
Susanne

just double-click it again

This is such a great gallery, works perfect for me! Does anyone know how I can add a sound effect when you click on the photos? I would like to add a snapshot .wav file I have. Thanks for your help!

THanks.

I too would very much like to know the workaround for the IE-problem where the polaroids get stacked at the top left of the page. Thanks in advance!

I’m using this gallery on a high school swimming website and it’s great! The only problem is that it only loads 20 pix from Flickr. Anyone know why and what I can do about that? Thanks!

Anyone know where you can get the XMl it talks about, where you can list the files you want to use.

Hi Ray and thank you for this article. I saw that someone asked for a WP plugin or xml files. Here: http://www.flashxml.net/polaroid-gallery.html you can find a nice flash polaroid gallery based on xml files which can be used in Wordpress websites as well.
Hope it helps!
