Over a dozen options are available for the gallery, located in an external XML configuration file. This file is editable using any standard text editor like Windows Notepad or Textpad. Both color, text, and layout configuration options are available. 4 different layouts are available: 1, 2, 3, and 4 (the "layout" parameter). 

Images for the gallery can be specified via the external XML file. The thumbnail path using the "thumb" parameter, and the caption text using the "captiontext" tag. Any image can also be linked to a popup window, which can either be an external URL (http:// location) or an image, as it is in the demo. 

"Print" image option is available. When clicked, the operating system's print window is automatically opened. This option can be disabled in the XML. 

Auto-scroll for thumbnails is available through 2 of the 4 available layouts. 

Any image can be linked to an external popup window by specifying a path in the "imageurl" tag, in the XML configuration file. 

100% of the Flash source code is included upon purchase. 

Basic operation of the gallery involves three files: an HTML file, a SWF file, and an XML configuration file. The idea is that the SWF loads the XML configuration file upon startup, to determine the layout and settings for the gallery. As you can see, the SWF is very light (only about 14 KB). Fast Gallery is truly one of the fastest and most powerful image galleries on the market. 

Layout 1 of 6 has all images in a thumbnail section on the right side of the screen, with arrow controls to view more thumbnails. 

Layout 2 of 6 is identical in every way to layout 1, except that the thumbnails appear on the left side. 

Layout 3 includes the smooth scrolling option, whereby all thumbnails occupy a scrolling bar at the right-side of the screen. 

Layout 4 is identical to layout 3, except that the thumbnail bar appears on the left-side of the screen, instead of the right-side. 

Layout 5 is similar to 3 and 4, except that the thumbnails appear above the main image, rather than to the side. 

The 6th and final layout is identical to layout 5, except that the thumbnails are aligned at the bottom.
