So, FlickrShow worked great… for one album. Problem is, if you want to embed more than one slideshow in a page (possible if it was say, multiple entries on a blog), you can’t. The first element will just sit there while the other shows a spinning loading icon forever.

I figured I might be able to take a look at the source, but no such luck. The code is obfuscated to all hell. This wouldn’t be as big of a problem if the original developer wasn’t completely unreachable. I’ve tried the email on his contact page a few times: nothing.

So, it looks like I might just have to create my own implementation of this. And yes, it will be open source so that other people won’t have to deal with an (apparently) dead project. Or Flash.
