Welcome to MegaZine 3

MegaZine 3 is a powerful pageflip/flashbook engine, written completely in AS3. It boasts many features, ranging from dynamic page loading to a fully integrated zoom and gallery mode. For a more in-depth listing of capabilities see the features section.

What is this?

MegaZine 3 is a pageflip engine. There are many like it, but this one is... free. And open source, too. This means two things, basically: you don't have to pay for it, and you can even modify it in any way you see fit.

That said, if you wish to use it commercially, a customly licensed version is available for purchase, too. Just send us a mail to mz3-info@vservu.de in that case. Of course, feel free to donate if you're not using it commercially. ;-)

So, what's a pageflip engine, then?

If you already know what a pageflip engine is you may safely skip this paragraph. If not, read on: A pageflip engine is a small Flash application that generates an interactive book, which can then be flipped through by the user. MegaZine 3 uses a completely dynamic approach, allowing full configuration through an external XML file. This makes it easy to set up books even if you do not even own the Flash IDE.

It's so easy...

Although the MegaZine 3 engine is quite powerful, it is really easy to create a basic book. The shortest way to define a book would be like this:

<book>
  <chapter pages="path/to/images/page_image[10].jpg"/>
</book>

This would create 10 pages from the images page_image1.jpg through page_image10.jpg. It's that easy!

Normally you will want to define page by page, though, which allows for a lot more flexibility. See the tutorials at the forum for some examples.
