I'm designing my new Imagevue gallery. I have several doubts, the main one is as follows:
- I don't find a way of including a general title, constant in every page. I thought that maybe the way was including it in the background, but I don't know how to change the background. In administration, the name of the background is "background.gif", but I couldn't find that file.
- Is it possible to include a button to go back to the starting page, when you are inside a gallery?
- I wanted to include at the starting page an swf file I already had. It doesn't work. I included it in the "filemod" folder and selected it correctly. It seems to charge it (the bar advances until the end), but then nothing appears. I've read the notice about swf files and their difficulties, but I think mine is a simple one. It is generated by "Quick Slide Show". Any idea?
Thanks a lot.

Re: General title of the Gallery and other questions
Sorry for the late reply -
#2 - You add a "home" or start button in the main menu. Most likely you already have a startpage that is hidden from the menu. Just go to admin -> manage, locate your startfolder, and set "unhide this folder" in the panel on the far right. Now this item will display in your menu and act as a home/start button.
You could add links to go back to startpage from other links in your gallery also.
#3 - I would need to take a look at your SWF file. Even though it is simple, it may have problems with Imagevue. For example, if it is an animated SWF without a static background, the width/height will be changing all the time and it is impossible for the gallery to align and position the SWF. Perhaps it has width/height 0 in first few frames ... Best way to make sure it works, is to create a square transparent background square at the back of your custom SWF file. Make sure it starts from 0,0 coordinates, and then let it be as big as maximum outer limits of your animation.

Thank you for your answer.
In relation to #2, I've left my .swf file here:

and you can download it and take a look. I used Quick Slide Show to prepare it.
Thanks.

I can see it, but I can ´t do much to it without source file. I doubt this was made to be loaded into other SWF file - I can see there are lots of different image sizes and the SWF itself is scaleable, not displaying the images at original size. Also, you would need to make sure the first frame wasnt empty, because thats what imagevue uses to position and align the filemod.
Why not use the native slideshow filemod in Imagevue?
