• What is the user/pass that gets me in the admin ?
  Good question : eye / lash will get you in (url is : eyelash_admin
  If you need to change this, which we strongly recommend, please check out the
  eyelash_files/global.inc.php, following lines :
  

  $arr_global["admin_username"] = "eye";
  $arr_global["admin_password"] = "lash";

• I cant open the .fla file with my version of flash (Flash MX Professional 2004, 7.0.1) can you provide the fla file in that version format?
  The distribution provides fla source files for Flash 8, but on request we deliver the files for older versions of Flash, but we can't guarantee that the gallery will function properly on older versions.
• Can I load Eyelash to another movie ?
  Yes you can : we've tried a few methods, among which the Action Script LoadMovie is the easiest  : just open a new fla and type the following line to create a new swf movie that imports Eyelash Photo Gallery :
  var my_portfolio = _root.loadMovie("eyelash_gallery.swf")
  Note that you must call the new movie from a http server, as eyelash still needs to load the eyelash_xml_render.php page that creates the xml on the fly
• Why  nothing happens when I add a new picture to the eyelash_images/big directory ?
  Eyelash is not designed to scan your server directory regularly : it is a web application that does all its setup when it's loaded by the browser. But You can create an automatic slide show that incorporates new images when ever they're added to the directory  by using the autorefresh function of your browser (opera has that)
  
• I've changed the color of the borders, set it to white, but that also remove the scrollbar. How can I remove just the borders around the main image and the thumbnails ?
  You have to go at the action script to remove borders  and  comment the following lines at two different places (one for the thumbnails, one for the main image)
  border.lineStyle(1, c_border, 100);
  border.beginFill(0xEF7844, 0);
  
  which is, in current version  :
  • remove thumbnail border :  comment line 89 and 90 of eyelash_gallery.fla
  • remove main border : comment line 61 and 62 of eyelash_functions.as
    

Tricky stuff : experts questions

• Can I remove the drop down effect of the picture description ?
  Yes you can !  edit the ToolTipClass.as file and comment the following line in function private CreateTooltip (around line 161) 
   this.doTween(  pHolderMovie._x,pHolderMovie._y);
• I was wondering if you could tell me how to get rid of the Image Description text as I do not need this information to be displayed
  to remove the tooltip, open the eyelash_functions.as file and comment line 29 :
  toolTip.setHTML(gblPictureDesc,10,320);  
  Remember to republish the main eyelash_gallery.fla file after you've modified eyelash_functions.as or any other action script file.
