FLAPI viewer beta : Next version 0.5

We've decided to launch our next version of the FLAPI viewer. I think flapi viewer made some great improvements if you compare it to our previous version, but still it's full of bugs. If you find one, please let us know. Mail, comment, ...

People who know their way around Flash and want to help us with FLAPI. You're welcome, let us know. Start with taking a look at our Flash source.

INSTALL
A more extensive help is on the way. For now you have to do it with this:

The package contains 2 files now: the swf viewer and a config.xml file. You only need to edit the xml file to get it working. It's important that you keep the config.xml and flapi_viewer.swf in the same directory.
Open config.xml:

• setid : this is the default set id, so the set that the viewer displays first if you choose overview mode. If mode is specific it will display only this set.


• userid : your flickr id number (click on the rss 2.0 feed below on a users page, you'll find the id in the url, it will look like 95967205@N00)
• api_key: get yourself an api key (http://www.flickr.com/services/api/misc.api_keys.html)
• showsets : specific(display 1 specific set) - overview (all your sets) - recent (recent photos)
• recentnumber : if showsets = recent , number of images you want to display
• showslideshowlink
  


• randomplay


• shownavigation : show the thumbnails or not true - false
• transition : not working yet !


• thumbstyle : always - never - hiding


• the colors ... speaks for itself
  
• infosettakentime : not yet
  
If you edited the xml just integrate the swf in your html or flash(can be buggy). Remember that the xml has to be in the same directory as the swf.
