#Flower# Flower provides easily used and easily customized functionality for media pages. The primary tools are photo and video lightboxes, some basic behaviors, and an audio player / playlist manager using SoundManager 2.

This code uses MooTools, a JavaScript library that provides enhanced functionality to the JS language.

Basic usage is as simple as including a few lines of code in the of an HTML document, or installing a WordPress plugin.

More information at cashmusic.org/tools/

##Usage## Flower is designed to be easy to use for the non-nerd, and easy to extend and use as a base for the nerdier. Most functionality works automatically with nothing more than a class name added to a div or a link.

###Soundplayer### To use the Soundplayer module just add the 'flower_soundplayer' class to a link or a div. Added to a div it will search the div for links to audio and populate a player. If no title is present the player will use the text between the link tag as the track title. If you'd like to specify your own title just add it to the--wait for it--title of the link.

When added to a link element, the 'flower_soundplayer' class will add [play] to the end of the link text and it will be playable inline.

A special 'flower_soundplayer_pageplayer' can be added to a div to create a player from all stray audio links on the page. This only grabs audio that has not already been included in a player or given the 'flower_soundplayer' class.

###Imagebox### To create an Imagebox collection you need only add the 'flower_imagebox' class to a link that points to an image. That image will be loaded in a lightbox. You can also add the 'flower_imagebox' class to a div and all links to images will be added automatically.

By default be included in the 'default' collection. To create multiple collections either add an id to each 'flower_imagebox' div, or specify a collection name in the rev attribute like so:

<a href="image.jpg" rev="imagebox:collection=mine">thumbnail</a>

###Moviebox### The Moviebox works automatically by scanning for links to YouTube, Vimeo, Google Video, MySpace TV, and Vevo pages. It also works on links to certain Quicktime media. Flower will automatically determine if a users browser supports Quicktime, Flash (and soon HTML5.) Then it plays a movie at the default size of 640x360. A title can be added using the title attribute of the link. Size can be changed using the rev attribute:

<a href="http://vimeo.com/175757" rev="moviebox:width=600,height=450">movie</a>

###Advanced Stuff### (Advanced documentation and demos coming soon)

##CSS Classes## The following classes are set when any content is displayed, allowing all Flower features to be skinned with ease. Be sure to use the !important declaration in your styles as all elements have been styled to a default set of styles already.
