An incredibly advanced album-like applet for images or thumbnails with navigation and status info. It has a big amount of options and settings.

Layer coloring

Album layer which used for displaying images consist from layer background, frame, status text and navigation text. Its possible to set up different colors for all layer objects. Applet background handled as usual with plain background color or custom image.

Status and navigation text

Status and navigation text displayed with custom font and color at the top and bottom of each album layer. Status string will begin with defined "Status begin" string, then number of displayed page added to it, then delimeter defined by "Status delimiter" value added and finally total amount of pages added and ended by "Status end" variable. This allow to create wide range of different status bars. Navigation text provided for displaying Forward/Back buttons with custom text (like Next/Prev etc).

Working with album

If thumb (or image) displayed at the layer clicked, corresponsing URL will be opened inside of specified target frame. Otherwise, if status or navbar clicked, layer will "flip" in corresponding direction. Album begin and end tracked automatically, so end user will see Flash-reproduction of illustrated book, or, more likely, photo album. Custom mp3s supported for playing sound effect during page flip.

Version history

1.2 :Now font size is set properly and images are resized according to font size and page height. "Disable book ending" added. If it's checked, then the album will not allow any flipping of the final page (text prompt at the bottom will not be visible either). This option is supposes to be used with odd amount of images, so that the last page of the album with the blank space won't be accessible.

1.1 : Image links can now be disabled by leaving the lines blank or with a "-".
