Easily update images using the Component Inspector, ActionScript or an XML fileImages can be added and removed from the photoFlow directly using the Component Inspector, dynamically (in real time) using ActionScript, or through an external XML file. By using an XML file, the images can be changed without the need to republish the SWF.
Adjustable flip speed, spacing between stacked images and image size
The look and feel of the photoFlow can be adapted to suit your requirements.
Customizable perspective view and reflections
The horizontal and vertical convergence can be changed to create a deeper perspective. The opacity, depth and distance of the reflections are also adjustable.
Option to flip images as a slideshow
The photoFlow includes an adjustable auto flip option to flip through the images automatically at a specified interval. Upon reaching the end, the images are flipped in the reverse order. This process repeats continuously.
ActionScript events to perform an action when an image has loaded, is selected, etc...
Actions can be triggered when specific events occur. For example, using the onSelectPhoto event, an action such as getURL or gotoAndStop may be assigned for the image that has just been selected. The full list of events can be found in the photoFlow userguide.
Images can be external or included in the library
Images can reside externally or they can be incorporated into your movie by including them in the library of your Flash file.
Mouse wheel image flipping (Windows only)
The images in the photoFlow can be flipped through by scrolling the mouse wheel (on Windows computers only).
Optionally display a name for each image
The assigned name can be displayed for the current image. The name can be positioned above or below the image as well as left, right or center. The distance from the image, font, color and size of the text are all customizable.
Option to set the number of images to preload
You can set the number of images that you wish to preload before the photoFlow is visible. This option is useful if you have several images as it allows your vistors to start browsing through the images that have already loaded while the remaining images continue to load.
Option to automatically scale images to fit or to fill the defined size
The images can be set to appear at their original unscaled size, scaled proportionally to fit the maximum width/height defined, or stretched to fill the width and height defined.
Zoom in on selected image or on all images on mouse over
The photoFlow can be optionally set to zoom in all images in the stack on mouse over or to zoom in only on the selected image on mouse over. The zoom percentage is also adjustable.
photoFlow can open on a pre-defined image
You can set the photoFlow to open on a specific image. For example, if you set the photoFlow to open on the fifth image, the fifth image will be displayed as the current image with the first four images stacked on the left and the remaining images stacked on the right.
Customizable background color and opacity
The image holder background color and opacity is customizable. This also makes it possible to have a transparent background. The color of the image border (which appears only while each image is loading) is also customizable.
Option to start flipping from left-to-right or right-to-left
The stack of images can be set to initially appear on the left, making the start flip direction to be left to right.
Supports sound effects for image flipping
A sound can be added to your library which is played each time an image is flipped.
Built-in preloader
The photoFlow includes a built-in preloader which displays the load progress of each image.
ActionScript control
A full ActionScript API is included to control the photoFlow dynamically.
Light weight (weighs only 18kb with the scrollbar)
The photoFlow itself weighs just 15kb and 18kb together with the included scrollbar.
