Question: Looking for a particular Flash photo gallery plugin...

I've read through the other questions on this topic but can't find what I'm looking for: a free or almost free Flash plugin for photo galleries. It's not Slide Show Pro and it's not Simple Viewer. What is it?

I've seen some blogs use it in the past but can't remember any of them. What it does is bring the picture to the forefront, sort of hovering over the web page and then darkens the area between the fg and the bg. Anyone know what software this is?

Any other Flash plugin or DHTML plugin suggestions are also appreciated, for the sake of comparison.

Thank you!

Do you mean Lightbox or Thickbox? There's a ton of these.

Also Slimbox.

Hmm. I don't think it was those but I appreciate the links. They're certainly similar. Thanks.

Not free, but almost.

Probably not it, but SimpleViewer is a nice free (Flash) image viewer.

I use Porta to generate the thumbnails and XML. It's really useful.

MonoSlideShow?

I'm fairly certain that you're talking about a Lightbox variant, though.
