Use the ThumbGallery Component to add a gallery inside your Flash files. The download comes with sample Flash files to further show how galleries can be set up. Install the Quickpoll component using the instructions that came with the download, then follow the steps below.

Step 1 - Fill out the necessary properties in the Component Inspector
In Flash, drag an instance of the QuickPoll component to the stage.
In the Flash menu, select: Window > Development Panels > Component Inspector.
(or if using Flash 8 select: Window > Component Inspector.) Below is a list of the necessary properties to fill out in the Component Inspector. For a full list of properties for customizing QuickPoll click here.

Property	Description
question	Enter the question for the poll
answers	Enter the choices for your poll. To add choices, click on the "+" button.
PHPpath	This is the URL path to the PHP file that you will load to your web server in step 2. Enter the full URL to the location of the PHP file.
uniquePollName	This can be set to any name. It CANNOT contain spaces. You can leave as is OR if you are showing more than one poll, be sure to give this parameter a unique name for each poll for the following reason. This name is used to set a Flash cookie and is used by PHP to create a text file to store poll data. For example, if you set the name as "poll_1" a file named "poll_1.txt" will automatically be created in the same directory as the PHP file. To clear your poll data, simply delete this file from your server. The next time a vote is submitted, the file will be recreated and the poll will be reset to "0".
onlyOneVote	If set to "true", a user is only allowed to vote once. The next time they visit the poll, they will be shown the results of the poll and not allowed to vote again. Setting this parameter to "false" is useful when testing your poll. Remember to set this back to "true" when loading to your web site, if this is the desired behavior.

Step 2 - Upload the PHP file and set permissions.

Find the file named "quickPoll.php". Upload this file to a folder on your web server. You then need to set the Permissions (chmod) of this folder. Note: Set the permissions on the folder not the file. To do this, open your FTP application and right click on the folder that contains the PHP file. Depending on your FTP application select either: "Permissions", "Properties" or "Attributes". This will open a window similar to the image on the right. Place a check mark in each box or type in the permissions "777". If you are having problems changing permissions, contact your hosting service and make sure they allow you to set permissions on folders. You can also find more information by clicking here.

Step 3 - Load the files to your web server.
Publish the Flash file, then load the html, swf and xml file to your web server. Note: These files and the PHP files all need to be placed on the same server.

Step 4 - Test
In a browser, type in the URL where you placed the html file. Then test the poll. If you see an error message after you make a vote, make sure you have followed Step 2 carefully. If properly set up, you will see the results of your poll.

About testing the poll on your local machine.
You can also test the poll on your local machine by opening the file "quickPoll.html" into your web browser. When testing locally, you may get a pop-up indicating a security error. If so, click on "settings." This will take you to a Macromedia security settings page. In the box in the center of the page, click on "Edit Locations" and then "Add Location." Copy the path in the bottom field and paste into the top field labeled: "Trust this location." Click "Confirm." Then restart your browser and test the poll again. These steps are necessary in order to bypass Flash's security setting when testing locally. You do not need to do this when testing on your web server.
