Gallery Items Include:
Images
You can have an unlimited amount of images here, with JPG , GIF, and PNG supported formats, and dozens of settings described in more detail below. The images here can be of any size, and the actionscript will do the rest for you. You wont have to worry about having too large or too small of images because it will automatically scale and resize to the size of the website, minus a minimum border size assigned in the XML file. Then, when viewing an image, if you click on it once again, you will be taken to the fullscreen view of it, when you’ll be able to zoom in on every detail while having an awesome panning effect!

YouTube Video Player
You get not one, but TWO YouTube players! You get the full YouTube video player with all of the controls and settings, as well as the awesome and elegant Chromeless one without the ads or controls on the bottom. In the XML file, set the width and height of the video, as well as the quality of the file, and set the YouTube URL link and you’re set!
External SWF Files
Have an external SWF file you want to show in the gallery? No problem! Have a hundred of them? Still no problem! One awesome feature about this SWF holder is that you get to set the size of the SWF file, so this way, if you have something happening outside of the SWF file, it will not take that into factor when centering the SWF file, so it will always be centered in the middle! No more dealing with offset SWF files!
