Well ive been seeing these books online where you can flip through the pages by hitting next page or by dragging the page to get to the next part. anyone know a script for this so I can finish designing my site? thank you

I'm pretty sure they are made in flash, I guess it is not too difficult if you know how to use the program. I don't :/

well I found alot that can be done with php etc but the only decent one /I found cost 5 thousand dollars. and 5 grand for a site that may not be up for more then a year seems to be a waste of money

The easiest way is to create the container for the page flips in Flash and have it call an XML file so you can edit the XML document in any text editor. This will allow you to easily update that Flash document without having to constantly update an actual Flash (.fla) file each time you have more pages to add.

i would just need a flash editor XD. Meh. I think i found one for php which I can program. I dont need a page turning animation for now so it will do untill the site grows

I'm sure there are free ones, but here's a site that offers a paid solution: http://pageflip.hu/
The dynamic PageFlip is configured by an XML file, that can be either edited by the owner, or generated by a php script for example.
