Bruce if i'm understanding you correctly I only need to put the iframe code in VSD an it will automatically access the Shozam files through my FTP client. I'm using Host Monster for my web site . This is creating a whole new set of problems for me I have never used an FTP site before. I feel like I'm so close. I set up an FTP site with my host but i'm lost as to how to access it trough Filezilla

Not to worry Chuck,
VSd has a built-in ftp, filezilla gets filled in the same way, but is an external ftp.
Host monster--well I'm not quite sure as to the folder you would upload to but if you placed anything in VSD ftp settings, in the WWW slot then that's where you would upload to in Host Monster.

all your files must be uploaded to Host monster that the gallery needs, and then iframe code is all you'll need in VSD. correct.
here's my example:http://yllek.info

In filezilla 3.2 you click on Advanced and put the folder you upload to there. sich as /www or public_html, htdocs, / etc;

I'm sorry misread it.
No VSD will access your gallery, the ftp is how you'll upload it to your server in Host Monster. the iframe will be visible in VSD once all your files are uploaded and the correct iframe code is installed.

here's an idea for you Chuck. copy this code into your VSD page and then preview it and see what you get ok?
<iframe src="http://www.myofficialnewbie.com/Gallery/index.htm" width="800" height="1000" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

Hey Bruce,

I finally got my site up an running thanks to your help. I used the iframe that you showed me its so much easier. Can you look at my site in the sports section under basketball the first game listed I have one gallery up if you click on one of the pictures you see the bottom of the gallery is cut off. I have tryed changing the height in the iframe code but it doesn't help. Any ideas what is wrong.

Thanks

Hi Bruce, you've been so helpful I have another question for you. I have created 2 new pages in VSD that will be for my weddings and seniors link on my home page. ( I haven't uploaded the pages yet I wanted to test them first ). It's going to be a slide show I have created in flash firestarter. Everything is been made in firestarter. When I go to save fire project I copied the html code onto the page with the html editer. I see I have to upload the 3 files also can I do this with filezilla as you showed me before with my galleries. If so do I need to create folders for them or can I can I upload them straight into my public_htm folder.

Hi Chuck,
You use Filezilla to upload to public_html folder then upload VSD, however you will not be able to preview your project in VSD unless you use the "Add Files" option and add the swf's .

Ok I put the 3 files in the "add files" option and preview works great. Now when I reupload my site will it automatically put those 3 file in my public_htm or do I need to stiil use Filezilla to upload them.
