What is Flash Media Gallery?
It’s a powerful flash application that can read the contents of a folder and display all the images, videos, mp3s, text, swf files and sub-folders in an elegant multi-category gallery. All you need to do is upload new content and it will appear in the gallery.
Who uses it?
Anyone who wants to keep a vast amount of media organized behind a beautiful interface. Flash Media Gallery is beloved by web designers and developers because it’s highly customizable and can seamlessly fit into just about any design.
Notable Features
Unlimited Levels of Categories/Sub-categories
There is NO LIMIT to the number of categories, or levels of sub-categories.
Video, images, music & more
Display galleries of images, videos, text pages, flash movies and play music all with one powerful application.
Fully Customizable
Every color, font, width, height, transparency, etc is controlled by a simple settings file.
Auto Resizing
The gallery will automatically re-resize your images and re-position the interface to fit your dimensions.
AS2 Component
Use the gallery in your Flash ActionScript 2 projects by dragging and dropping the component into your flash files.
More Features
Organization
You can exclude files and folders from the gallery. You can also control the order of your content by naming your files with a leading number and setting the gallery to omit the first few characters from file names. So “01_Folder Name” will show up as “Folder Name”
Auto, XML, or Hybrid
You can set the gallery to use xml instead of the auto php script for more control over your content. You can also combine the control of xml and convenience of auto script. Add an xml file to your content folder, and the gallery will insert it into the gallery xml.
Easy Updates
Got new pictures or videos you want to share with the world? Just upload them to the site and you’re done! They will automatically appear in the gallery.
