So, what's a pageflip engine, then?
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 external XML files. 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:
This would create 10 pages from the images page_image1.jpg through page_image10.jpg. It's that easy!
