Bridge is just a browser. To put in buttons you would have to use a program like Photoshop. A web search will lead to tutorial like THIS

Guess the question wasn't very clear. I know how to build a button - I'm trying to create a link from the photographs to a shopping cart. The gallery was created in Bridge Web gallery and importd into Dreamweaver. Once the gallery is loaded into Dreamwever, there are no images (design view) to edit (add buttons). How do you make the links? Thanks

Presumably in Dreamweaver or some such application.

Did you export as HTML or Flash?

You might have to get your hands dirty and hand-code it.

The Bridge Web Gallery was imported into Dreamweaver with Flash. I can hand-code the button/links , I just can't access the individual photpgraphs or the codes from Dreamweaver.

That's because it's Flash! :) Try exporting in HTML.

Thanks, I didn't realize I had that option. However, when I tried that, I got a blank page with no images, etc. Wouldn't this also kill the animation once in Dreamweaver?

If you export the web gallery as Flash file, you cannot edit it in Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver can embed Flash into an HTML document, but it can't edit it. You need Flash for that.

You can choose 'HTML Gallery' from the list of web gallery templates in Bridge. You will then export an HTML galleryt with JPEG images, not Flash. Dreamweaver will then have full access to images and markup.

Thanks for the help.

I tried that ( I'm dropping the web gallery into an "i Frame" for specific sizing) but still could not get a visual on the images to edit. Just a blank work area. Maybe I'm not exporting correctly into Dreamweaver. I had no trouble when I exported in Flash, so I don't know why this would be any different. I'm simply recodeing using the "HTML Gallery with jpeg images. How are you exporting into Dreamweaver? Maybe, that's where I'm going wrong.?

Maybe the IFRAME is the problem. It worked for me, when I tested it for writing my reply. Just try exporting from Bridge as an "HTML Gallery" and then loading the index.html in Dreamweaver.

The IFrame was apparently the problem. It loaded fine once I deleted the code. Thanks for the great help!
