One of the most popular uses of Flash for designers and illustrators that I've observed is to create image gallerys to showcase graphic work. So its unsurprising that on our sister marketplace FlashDen the image gallery category is jam-packed with stunning Flash galleries. Today I've rounded up 30 of the best to show off here on Vectortuts+ as we countdown to the imminent launch of our latest Tuts+ site ... Flashtuts+.

XML Resizeable Fullscreen Gallery
From the Author: When you hold your cursor over the buttons they grow tall to indicate the active image. If there are more image buttons than fit on your page, then the whole menu scrolls back and forth based on your mouse position. The image loads and determines whether it should base its height on the width or height ratio to make it fullscreen. While the next image is loading the current image gets dark and a preloader pops up. Hold your cursor over the caption and it will scroll upward so you can read the details. If there is no caption, there will be no caption button.
