We are pleased to announce updated release of our Flash extensions for Joomla 1.5,  1.6 and 1.7, modules Featured Items Flash, and Featured Items Flash 3D. These modules display images from your Joomla articles as Flash slideshows, with clickable links to the articles - a great way to enliven your Joomla site.

Unlike many Flash extensions, these are fully integrated into the Joomla content management system, so there is no messing about with XML data files, you just choose the articles to display in the module administration. The modules will automatically detect the article images and display them in the slideshow gallery. As well as being compatible with the Joomla core content component, these modules support Mighty Extensions Resources, and the K2 content component. They can integrate with social components such as Community Builder, Mighty Touch and JomSocial, to show images from articles by the currently profiled user.

The latest release of the modules adds support for displaying multiple images per article and improves the quality of the image display.

We have a new release of our slideshow module for Joomla, mod Featured Items Slideshow.

Version 2 includes a completely new HTML 5 layout, supporting a variety of image transition effects.

The latest release also includes several other improvements:

• the controller display is now optional
