MegaZine 3 is an open source and free Flash pageflip engine for presenting any content with a book-like interface where users can flip the pages. 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. 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.

There is a small batch script for Windows (no Mac or Linux version available) which uses the sfwtools’s pdf2swf component to generate pages in SWF format from a PDF file and also a MegaZine 3 XML file. You can find the batch in download page.

Features of MegaZine 3:

• deep linking with integrated SWFaddress support
• control bar to navigate through pages easier (can be disabled)
• page caching for faster browsing
• ability to use any content in pages like sound, images, movies & more
• easy customization of background, colors & ability to create transparent pages
• advanced localization support (even sounds, iamges can be bound to languages)
• image zooming & image galleries inside pages
