Er, I can view my galleries no problem on my iPhone. SSP added HTML5 functionality quite some time ago via Director.
Which is well worth using for it's great content management system anyway.

I'm with you. Flash is on it's way out and has been for some time now. I will have to explore other options now that I am rebuilding my websites.

An answer to this would be helpful!

thanks

I am incredibly frustrated....trying to create mobile version of my sites for iPad, iPhone, Droid, etc.
But still the SSP mobile functionality is sorely found wanting in this regard.
I am at a complete loss to understand how such an amazing photo/video gallery solution does not develop something we can deploy to iPad/iPhone.
And no news....no updates...no hope in sight?
I am searching for another option now...but seriously moving all of my galleries and albums at this point makes me cringe.
I just can't believe you guys wouldn't be trying to move forward with the incredible demand for the millions who now use iDevices and other mobile devices for their web browsing and can't use Flash. I am one of those who just loves Flash....but unfortunately, it's abundantly clear Apple has no intention of ever supporting it - hence the desperate need for some updates to SSP.
If anyone out there has any ideas about making this transition...please share.
I absolutely believed after the wonderful experience I've had with SSP for the last 5+ years....that they would be at the groundbreaking forefront of offering something in this regard long ago.
Sad sad sad day for me......

We're with you. Our web designer raved about SSP so we went with it and we love it too. But the limitations when working with the mobile site are daunting. Designer is using WP Touch to work with the mobile site (a WordPress site) and it's coming right along, but the SSP galleries have her stumped. Really a huge bummer for our ecommerce site, which uses our super-cool galleries as navigation tools. Not being able to have a simple active link in the images on mobile as there are on the main site is a real problem. Hope they get on the stick - or someone else does, so we have an option!

You could use the API to pull images into jquery mobile (which works on i devices) but would def be more of a chore than just cut and paste of some embed code.

This product is neglected and will not see any more updates, my prediction.

I'm going to check out the links for galleria and the other sliders above. My main issue is the need to combine videos and photos in slideshows, as well as have linking capability off of the elements so they can be used for navigation.
I found this:

Pretty great for those of us who use wordpress.
But I'm so shocked that nobody at SSP has even responded to us after being loyal clients for all of these years? It's very odd and mysterious. I can't believe they don't join this discussion and just let us know what they plan to do or not to do so we can make arrangements.
Can't comprehend why they are just leaving us all hanging......

"I also blame 'flash is dead' idiots including late Steve Jobs "

*groan*

Dude, give it up.  The war is lost, Flash lost. 

Which is why Adobe Edge and the new products are running from it (similar interface but not a black box and viewable on iOS, HTML5,etc).  Apple and Google line up against you, your tech will lose.


The developer pooping out on this content management system is his prerogative, and ours to get irritated about.  Chasing the Religion of Flash is gonna leave you bitter (and eventually alone)

“The decision to stop development of the Flash Player plugin for mobile browsers was part of a larger strategic shift at Adobe.  One which includes a greater shift in focus toward HTML5, as well as the Adobe Creative Cloud and the services that it provides.”    Mike Chambers, Adobe developer relations lead

I run a PC, own a Android, and the only idevice I have is an ancient iphone.

You are a thin-skilled zealot, and have thrown slurs and insults over and over.

Get over it, moron (my first insult)

"You might be running PC and Android but you sound like Apple Freak - and retarded Apple Freak you will remain for me..."

Dont confuse you with the facts, huh?  I am not an Apple freak, just facing facts.  And you throw a tantrum. 

Wired, Mashable, zdnet (and 429,000,000 other google hits) seem to disagree with you.  If that makes me a "freak" I don't know what to say to you.


You need to wake up.  They might call it Flash, but it is not that anymore.  If you are converting it into an app that is readable on something without the flash player, that is not flash.  Adobe tried a PDF-style media embed with the Flash Player.  They abused the market by not updating it, sucking memory, and being arrogant and the market (apple and google among them) punished them for it. 

The CS6 marketing reflects the retreat from your beloved Flash.  Rant at me all you want, as you come off like a fool.  When the manufacturers, major search engines, and all the tech publications agree (as well as Abobe itself) that is is dead....maybe it is.

Whatever zombie boy, keep saying it isn't, lol.

I am guessing you don't see the irony of saying  "I have full right to express my opinion" and for me to"please stop bothering me with your Apple freak posts."

I too have a right to my opinion, you don't like it, I can tell you where to go.

You are an idiot.  Funniest thing I have read in ages. 

"ishits"

Classy.

Guessing (in your frenzy of stupid) you forgot I only have an ancient iphone I test with, and am not even an "Apple guy".  But (since I insulted your religion of flash) incurred your wrath.

I also notice you didn't refute a single point in those articles, or that almost 500 million pages online have the phrase "flash is dead".

Ad hominum stupidity from you, nothing else.  I hope you are this quick to temper and hyperbole with clients, and bristle at the faintest of slights.  Maybe one day I can see you shifting around homeless and hungry, and offer an apple.

Lol

That is not a site I maintain.  But (since you don't know how to argue without attacking a person, and not their ideas) I went on yours.

No mobile version and ZERO meta tags.  Lol.

Do you even know what a USERAGENT is?  Too busy getting hot and bothered with your zombie tech, huh?

How is that for retarded?

"Adobe confirms it won't support Flash on Android 4.1, stops new Flash installs from Google Play on August 15th"

http://m.engadget.com/2012/06/28/adobe- … droid-4-1/

(yet another) bullet in the head of your beloved dead tech

The reason I NOW need a non-flash solution for displaying great looking photo galleries online, is that over 85% of my clients are demanding it and 40% of those also want it to be responsive.

For me the argument on whether flash is dead or not is pointless. My paying customers DON'T want Adobe Flash, so should I argue the toss with them and tell them they are wrong, or call them stupid for using Apple products?

No, of course not.

Whether right or wrong the tide of public opinion (well the ones that contact me for work) want me to redesign their sites without flash and to work well on all mobile platforms.

Some of my corporate clients have already moved to iPads for their sales-force. Others have told me that they will be moving to tablet based devices and want me to demonstrate presentation solutions that are HTML 5 based.

So the future for ME is not going to be based on Adobe Flash, so please SlideShowPro just let us know what's in your future road map. Because your silence on the subject means I for one will be looking elsewhere.

Herman,

Photoswipe is cool.  I like it because you can feed it whatever size images you want.  I am guessing with a useragent detect you could use Director API to feed huge pics for a retinal view if needed.  I am working on a jquery mobile build but sadly the touch events break photoswipe when jquery mobile is sitting on the same php. 

Codecanyon has a nice useragent detector so you can lightbox images for desktops and use something like photoswipe for mobile traffic.

And don't waste your time engaging that Flasheriffic tool, he has shown it is a waste of time.

The "'flash is dead' idiots" as you call them aren't necessarily Apple users like you say. Thats just a moronic condescending statement to people of whom you don't even know the depth of intelligence and it implies that all Windows users are the brains. Laughable. Steve Jobs (with all his idiosyncrasies) was just one of many irritated with Adobe's stagnation. He was just honest enough to voice his opinion. Adobe fell short of developing a mobile version of its CPU hog Flash application that didn't support touch. Adobe fell asleep at the wheel for a good ten+ years on all their applications but now even they are producing software for the eminent migration.

No, Flash's real enemy is the search engine and the SEOs paid by clients to make them visible. The common SEO request is to "migrate away from Flash" ASAP even in the era of social advertising. Just as you are customer of Adobe and its Flash application, the "real" end customer is the client. When clients migrate away from Flash the money to develop in Flash dries up regardless of how much better "you" think the platform is.

Sticking with the Beta vs VHS argument is simply more money in my pocket. The business of stripping out Flash has been a bigger business in the last two years then developing it.

From a security point of view... Flash is a nightmare. Most informed security people prefer to NOT to run Flash on their networks and personal systems for this reason.
