How to Create a Flash Image Gallery

Using a Flash image gallery is a creative way to display your photographs with friends and loved ones. Because of the Flash effects, your photo presentation will have a modern flair that cannot be achieved with non-Flash presentations. There are many websites that allow you to create a Flash image gallery for free in exchange for viewing their advertisements. If you do not want to view the advertisements, you can also purchase your own Flash software.

Things You'll Need

• Flash software
• Photos

Instructions

1. Visit a website such as Slide, Flickr or Photo Bucket that allows you to create Flash image galleries using their online Flash software.

2. Select the option to create a "New Account" on the Flash image gallery website. The wording may vary slightly from website to website.

3. Upload the pictures that you want to appear in your Flash gallery. If you are using pictures that are online or from sources other than your own, be sure that you have cleared the rights to use the pictures.

4. Customize the look and feel of your gallery. You can customize factors such as the background color, special effects and image rotation.

5. Save your Flash gallery after you have finished customizing it. After saving the gallery, you have the option of embedding your gallery on your own website or sharing a link to your gallery with friends and loved ones.
