Magnetic Image Gallery — Features and design

The Magnetic Image Gallery is an XML-based Flash image gallery with flexible structure and extensive set of parameters. Actually, it's a construction kit that enables you to build almost any configuration of a gallery.

The gallery consists of 5 independent areas, and each of them can be adjusted separately:

• Image Area
• Category Area
• Thumbnail Bar
• Controls Area
• Description Area

Main features:

• supports JPG, PNG, GIF image formats;
• also supports transparent images (PNG, GIF) by using specific mechanism for the transitions;
• images of any size can be used — several options for fitting are available;
• 2 images transition effects and 3 text transition effects;
• "frosted glass" effect for backgrounds (separately for Category, Controls and Description areas, and Thumbnail Bar);
• 2 different types of thumbnails scrolling — "dynamic" and "static";
• the fonts can be embedded or not;
• supports HTML/CSS formatted descriptions;
• FlashVars support for loading different XML files;
• over 160 parameters that can be set through the XML file.

You can work with the Magnetic Image Gallery in one of the following ways:

1. Using one of the 6 templates included in the download — just modify some of parameters leaving the others as is.
2. Creating your own configuration based on one of the templates which fits with your needs best of all.
