Dynamic XML Image Gallery with Thumbgri...

Version: 2.0

About

Dynamic Image Gallery component is a complete image gallery Flash component and application driven by XML which targets to provide flexibility to the non programming users. It's a highly customizable image gallery that can be configured with a simple text editor by editing its 30+ useful configuration.

I tried to create a flexible Image Gallery Component that can be easily customized without having knowledge of Flash. While I was developing this, my goal was to create it in such a way that it can support various layouts without recompilation and can be used in various web projects by keeping the Flash file intact.
And I finally created this. I hope this will be helpful to you.
