Topic: how to display images from Amazon S3

I store all my images on Amazon's AWS service.

Do you have any examples of how I can get SimpleViwer-Pro V2 to pull the images and display them.

Thanks
Jim

Edit the gallery.xml so that it points to the images and set up a crossdomain.xml.

Re: how to display images from Amazon S3

I have made a few more customizations.

I am loading the images using gallery.php (as xml file) so I can pull them from a database.

The only problem I'm having is it seems to hang on the second thumbnail
and the main image doesn't load. Once you start clicking on a thumbnail, then
some images load.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Re: how to display images from Amazon S3

Looks like you are hitting some cross domain security issues since the SWF is on a different domain than the images. See here for details on Flash loading images from amazon s3: http://www.neurofuzzy.net/2008/08/27/fl … amazon-s3/

One solution would be to host the SWF file on S3.

Yes, that was the problem, but I used a different crossdomain.xml to make it work.

I still host the SWF on my domain though.

I used the code from step 9 on this page and it loads incredibly fast now:

Thanks for your help.
