The Flash Gallery plugin lets you turn your ordinary galleries into awesome image walls, with support for multiple albums per post, full screen viewing and slideshows. It is especially usefull for when you have lots of images in a post, or want to present images sorted into separate albums. Here’s an example with 175 images. I use the Flash Gallery primarily to controll the height of my posts. Whenever there would be more than 4 rows of thumbnails I replace the ordinary [gallery] with a [flashgallery]. You can browse through the archives here to see how that works. If you value my plugins, please help me out by Flattr-ing them! Or perhaps send me a book? Used ones are fine! 🙂 //Ulf Benjaminsson Flash Gallery supports: full screen viewing slideshow multiple albums/categories per post deep Linking (scroll down…) 🙂 RSS-readers mouse- & keyboard interaction configurable gallery background, logo and highlight color. being enabled / disabled by the visitor, at any time. right-click menu with “open image in new tab” and “copy image url” complete fallback for Flash and JS-less browsers.
