Flash Photo Album 2 is new version of Flash photo album with new features.

• It is FREE
• Dynamic Picture loading
• Easy to install and easy to change content
• Show pictures automatically with slideshow
• Integrate to any web site
• No server side scripting or database requirement
• Adds great look and functionality to your web site
• Easy to read XML based image captions and configuration file
• Ability to add custom links for each image

Released it a while ago and had some feedback and questions about custom integration to other websites and flash files. Unfortunately I haven’t got much time to tweek and answer those needs. Instead I decided to release source files under same license “Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 License”. Think this will help to some of you to figure out how it works and adjust it to your needs.

Flash Photo Album 2 depends on two external classes:

• mc_tween2.as class (need to download seperately from source) by Zeh Fernando for animations
• XMLSA class (included in package) by Max Ziebell for converting xml to simple array.

I was searching for XML handling and speed, memory factor on php. Particularly I was looking for how to use XSL transformations in php, do I need to populate exact xml or may I populate very large xml file and use the part htat I needed throught XSL. I came across with this article Processing Large XML Documents with PHP 5 which has benchmark for accessign particular record in XML using different feautures of PHP 5. Also there is very useful presentation explaining XML usage in PHP5, “XML in PHP 5″ workshop slides.

Also there is a benchmark of XML parsers.
