"shine" transition in x2 gallery?

Hello,

i'm developing a website for a photographer and i want to integrate imagevueX2 gallery into the CMS based website.

I went through the well documented (on the v1 version, not so much on the x2) site and found out pretty much all i wanted, but in all gallery examples i missed one thing: I can't find a preview of the X2 gallery with the transition i saw in the V1 version, displayed in this gallery:
https://www.photo.gallery/imagevue/?navi ... trol=false

I found out it's a transition called "shine", but like i said...i see no example of it in a x2 gallery.
Is it so that the X2 has all the features the V1 has...and more, or is this transition left out in the new version?
This is very important for me to know, as i'm ready to purchase a commercial license...but i have to be sure i'm able to put in this transition effect for my client.
I need the X2 version because of the way it displayes the pictures AND the thumbs (so v1 is not realy an option).

Secondly, the easiest way to embed the gallery into the CMS based website (Joomla), is through an i-frame (wrapper)...but, no matter what specific url i give it, the gallery always starts with the startpad specified in the config file.
I want to use the site's menu to point the the specific gallery, so i won't need the gallery's menu.
Anyone's done something like this before?


Thanks in advance!

Regards

I guess I may have answered you by email regarding the "shine" transition already. It seems to have been missing from transition options, although it is still possible to use.

Regarding joomla/iframe, most likely you can't use SWFAddress to trigger specific pages. You will need to use URL parameters like "gallery/?startpath=content/folder/"

Indeed, you've answered me by email already...thanks for that.

I will now post the solution i found after deep digging into the code, as well as parts of our email conversation for others to benefit from.
