BloomImage Viewer
Thumb and bloom images
The Thumb and Bloom images must be named like the examples below and must follow a sequential numbering convention. They can not be named anything else. This is necessary for the extension to be able to insert and update them images correctly.
| Thumb Images | Bloom Images | ||||

They may be in upper or lower case but the names must remain as in the examples above.
Scroller button images
Included in the Bloom Image Viewer kit are 4 sets of scroller control images. Each set contains 4 images, one each for each direction. UP | DOWN | RIGHT | LEFT.
These sets of images are in png format and can be edited in Macromedia Fireworks. Instructions for exporting the images into gif format are right in the png file itself.
The slices are already there and prenamed for you. (not visible in the screenshot above) All you need to do is move the slices over the set you wish to use and export them to the folder containing your thumb images.
The button image dimensions are 18px by 18px.
The extension itself will know which pair to insert depending on which format you decide for the gallery whether it be horizontal or vertical.
The 4 included scroller images (The thumb images shown below are for demonstration purpose only)
This example displays how the images will appear in Dreamweaver after you have placed them in a folder named images.
note: The Scroller images should reside in the same folder as the Thumb images.
Scroller
The scroller included with the Bloom Image Gallery will scroll either horizontally or vertically. The extension will recognize which format you have chosen and insert the appropriate code for the correct direction.
The scrollers attributes are editable after the initial insertion. You may increase the window size or speed. The default speed is set to 5. The higher the number the faster it will scroll.

If the scroller option is checked the All thumbs in single Layer will self check. This is because in order for the thumbs to be able to scroll they must also be contained in a single layer. This single layer is then nested inside of a Parent layer with the correct clipping settings applied.

Once the scroller has been applied to the Gallery collection it is not possible to remove it or change it from within the interface to the individual style layout without the scroller. This would require removing the entire script and building it again.
The same applies if the scroller was not selected upon initial insertion of the gallery. The extension will not allow it to be applied on the fly at a later time. You must decide beforehand if you choose to use the scroller option or images in individual layout.
Borders and spacing
Border
This option allows you to place a border around the thumbnail images. You can select the size and color and any additional images that are added later will conform to these settings.
The border size and color are editable upon return to the interface only when the All thumbs in single Layer or scroller has been selected beforehand. It is not editable from the interface if the thumb images have been inserted separately on the page.
Spacing
Provides spacing between the thumb images. This option is not available with the All thumbs in single Layer or scroller options and is not editable from the interface.
Removing the Gallery
Should you wish to remove the entire Bloom Image gallery from the page you can open the interface and press the Remove Script button. This will remove all instances of the images and script.
