Does anyone who does any web, either for self promotion or their job, know of good sites that sell Flash components, specifically portfolios?

I am looking to get one for my company's website to integrate into our site to show some of our work.

I am not an accomplished web designer, and we don't have an in-house programmer, so purchasing a portfolio that I can customize for our site's look makes sense.

If you know of any reputable sites selling this kind of thing, I'd love to hear it! Thanks in advance-

Do you have Photoshop? Under File>Automate there is a Web Photo Gallery option that is pretty easy to use to create a simple online portfolio of images ... it gives you a variety of setups and is easy to use.

Is there a reason you're looking for Flash specifically? Flash isn't indexable by the search engines, so it's not an ideal portfolio option.

I'd recommend something along the lines of the PhotoShop web gallery mentioned previously. Here are some of non-Flash and Flash options:

Flash Portfolio Components (looking for premade)
I am really interested in learning about the Web Photo Gallery functionality in Photoshop. However, I am having a problem. I am using Photoshop CS3 and when I try to use this function I get a PDF security password dialog box requiring me to put in a security password. The exact verbiage within the dialog box says "please enter the Document Permissions password to remove the restrictions." Anyone know why this is and what I can do about it?? Thanks in advance.
