Help customizing Web Photo Gallery
Hello.
I am a new member, and this is my first post, so I hope you will pardon me if I provide too much information or too little.
Here's what I would like to do, and I hope someone will be able to offer some suggestions:
1. I have made a web photo gallery using the Flash Gallery 1 template, in the Web Photo Gallery menu. I would like to add a background image or gradient, instead of the solid HTML color allowed by the dialog box.
Is there a way to manually code this in the plug-in or the outputted files?
2. In the same gallery, I have used an mp3 audio file that is quite large, due to the length of the presentation. When someone visits the page the audio begins, then begins again several seconds later, presumably when the file has finished loading.
Is there any way to prevent this double start, perhaps by adding a pre-loader or some code?
Unfortunatley, I am only familiar with Swish and SwishMax, and I do not know Flash actionscript.
3. Is there any way to make this "animated" web gallery play by default? Many of my visitors tell me they were not even aware there was a play button, in spite of the fact that I increased the size of the control interface by altering code.
If you would like to see the gallery I am talking about, you may do so here:

Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers,

P.S.
I'm using CS2, by the way.
