You dont.

You use the Showcase action

Insert>Action Item>Showcase Gallery

Then with the action item selected you set the parameters in the action palette - this includes the location of the Showcase folder (Gallery File) Type of Gallery, Theme etc.

Thanks DAve. But I’m trying to make a photo albums to view on my web page how do I put them to each button so for a example. In my gallery. Kids,Models etc. How do you put them with the buttons after making the photo album this is what has me stumped. I have version 5.6.6

I am not sure that I follow what you mean.

You would have 1 instance of the Showcase Action for each Gallery. ie 1 for Kids, 1 for Models etc.

I am still not following you.

What do you mean by ‘a photo gallery of different links’

A gallery consists of pictures.

after making a gallery page in showcase how do I connect them so you can click on each like

You create a Gallery in Showcase (which consists of a series of images).

You would use text or graphic links to link to each separate Gallery or FW Gallery page. You can have several FW Showcase galleries on each page or you can put them on different pages.

How do I make a screen shot so I can show you what I’m trying to do?

How do I make a screen shot

On your Mac

To take a picture of part of your screen:

Open Grab, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.

Open Grab
Choose Capture > Selection.

Move the pointer to a corner of the area you want to capture.

Drag the pointer across the area and release the mouse button.

Then upload the picture to your webspace or drop the image onto your FW page and upload it and provide a link.

Is English not your first language Mike - if not then tell us what is and someone who knows your language may be able to help more.

Are you not able to take a screenshot using Grab? Or you cant upload it.

Can take a screen shot. It will work with everything else but when I drag it over the page I’m making it won’t let me take a shot

It should be as simple as choosing Capture>Selection from the Grab menu.

This thens shows you a cursor/pointer with which you ‘draw’ a selection around the area you wish to capture holding the mouse button down. When you release the mouse button it takes the screenshot which you can then Save.

If what you are trying to do is create a link from your Navigation to a page which has a Gallery on it then you do the following.

Make a new page using Page>New Pages give it a name eg. ‘kids portraits’, place your Showcase action on that page and set the parameters to point to the Showcase gallery file that you created for the kids portraits.

Now select the text of your navigation ‘kids portraits’ and use the Link Picker at the bottom of the FW window (just right of the sidebar in the base line) - it looks like a little Globe. Click on the Globe and it will give you a list of all the Pages in your FW document. select the Page you want to link to ie ‘kids portraits’

You can do the same thing if your Navigation item (button) is a graphic item. Select the graphic and then use the Link Picker to select the page you want to link to.

If you already have a kids portraits page then you can ignore the create a new page step.

The best way to set this up is to have your navigation menu on your Master page and use the same Master for all the child pages. This way if you update/add links on the menu on the Master you update all the child pages.

I believe their is a Tutorial Video on ‘Master Pages’ - have you watched any of the Tutorial Videos? Softpress » Support » Tutorials

Even the ones for FW4 are relevant.
