There are two files to download: [WordPress Plugin](http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/image-scrolling-gallery-fx.zip "Image Scrolling Gallery FX Plugin") (that you have to install and activate) & [Free package](http://www.flashxml.net/free/download/image-scrolling-gallery.zip "Image Scrolling Gallery FX") 2. Create a new folder inside your **wp-content** folder called **flashxml**, inside this folder create a new one called **image-scrolling-gallery-fx** and copy the content of the **free package** there 3. If you copied the **free package** to a location different than the one above, go to **Image Scrolling Gallery FX** from the **Settings** tab in your **WordPress Dashboard** and update the path accordingly 4. Add `[image-scrolling-gallery-fx width="600" height="400"][/image-scrolling-gallery-fx]` where you want the Flash to show up in your post/page. Don't forget to provide your own width and height values, since 600 and 400 are just examples 5. If you want to make the Image Scrolling Gallery FX part of your theme, edit the template files and add `` where you want it to show up 6. Go to [FlashXML.net](http://www.flashxml.net/ "Free Flash Components") and [customize your Image Scrolling Gallery FX](http://www.flashxml.net/image-scrolling-gallery.html "Image Scrolling Gallery FX") using the Live Demo. Generate the `settings.xml` text and use it to overwrite `wp-content/flashxml/image-scrolling-gallery-fx/settings.xml`, `wp-content/flashxml/image-scrolling-gallery-fx/fxImageScroller/settings.xml` and `wp-content/flashxml/image-scrolling-gallery-fx/holder/settings.xml` files accordingly 7. To use your own images, upload them to `wp-content/flashxml/image-scrolling-gallery-fx/images/` and update the `wp-content/flashxml/image-scrolling-gallery-fx/images/thumbs.xml` and `wp-content/flashxml/image-scrolling-gallery-fx/images/big.xml` files accordingly = No Flash support text = To support visitors without Adobe Flash Player, you can provide alternative content by adding the text between `[image-scrolling-gallery-fx width="600" height="400"]` and `[/image-scrolling-gallery-fx]`. If you made the Flash part of your theme, add the text as **the third argument** of the `imagescrollinggalleryfx_echo_embed_code()` function call (for example ``). = Additional settings file = To embed the Image Scrolling Gallery FX more than once, you will need another set of settings file and (probably) another set of images. Let's assume your new files are called `settings2.xml`. Add `[image-scrolling-gallery-fx width="600" height="400" settings="settings2.xml"][/image-scrolling-gallery-fx]` where you want the Flash to show up in your post/page. If you made the Flash part of your theme, add the file name as **the fourth argument** of the `imagescrollinggalleryfx_echo_embed_code()` function call (for example ``). = Getting rid of the FlashXML.net label = To remove the FlashXML.net label from the top-left corner you'll need to buy the [paid package](http://www.flashxml.net/image-scrolling-gallery.html" Image Scrolling Gallery FX"). Once you'll do that, simply use the SWF file from the paid package to overwrite the SWF file from the `wp-content/flashxml/image-scrolling-gallery-fx/` folder. == Screenshots == 1.
