A recent site I did for Playgroup in collaboration with id & ego design, who made some fantastic artwork, that really needed to be shown off full screen.
There are several ways to display a swf in full screen. You firstly have the entire full screen, like you get with a youtube video. This is done by using StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN.

I have recently been using a jQuery plugin called imgAreaSelect, which allows you to crop images. I wanted to use it with my PHP site so that thumbnails could be cropped and created.
GD Library is a PHP library that allows manipulation of images, in particular it can create new images. It may need to be installed on some servers, but I found it already installed on my host and on MAMP (my local server). Combining this with imgAreaSelect read more
Having installed galleria on my webpage, I then wanted to align the gallery vertically inside the containing div.
Unfortunatley, there is little CSS support to do this, vertical-align is a property that does not work for images, and only really works for text appearing next to images or in table-cells. (Apparently, this property maybe improved for CSS3).

Galleria – a JavaScript image gallery, written in jQuery, creates a gallery (with thumbnails) from a list of images. It’s simple to use, you just attach the script, call it and point it to a <ul> on the page. Like this:

Combining this with jCarousel, which is another jQuery plugin, and you can scroll through a list of thumbnails at the same time. The two compliment each other nicely. read more
