so, two things here.

1st: Google won't be able to see the photos in your new site because they are linked only through a shockwave movie, and google's software (AFAIK) won't be able to to see them.

2nd: It can take several months before your pages are fully index on google, their mechanism is fairly random, and you shouldn't expect immediate indexing.

if you want to get them included, you should include an html version of your gallery.

I figured they wouldn't index the new site as they are in flash. But had them on GONE in html with popups, so that doesn't make much sense.

Maybe I'll try and find a way to place them in html on the new site...

Thanks.

In your old website you had the images in the html page using simple img tags. the javascript meant they would popup, but google would still be able to find the images simply through the img tags.
