This post is simply to provide a reference point for post tags associated with the FlashViewer apps within NextGen Gallery. I typically post using TiltViewer so I always forget exactly what the tags are when I am posting with SimpleViewer, AutoViewer, or PostcardViewer. Below is a listing of all four of the FlashViewer types and what the specific different tag options mean.

SimpleViewer
Description: SimpleViewer displays a list normal looking gallery where you can specify in the admin the number of thumbnails in a each column and row among other options you can set as well in the admin.
[simpleviewer=GALLERY_ID,WIDTH,HEIGHT,LINK]
GALLERY_ID: The ID of the gallery you would like displayed
WIDTH: The width of the gallery on the page
HEIGHT: The height of the gallery on the page
LINK: The optional link text for the adding a link in place of the gallery that once clicked activates a JavaScript effect and displays the gallery.

TiltViewer
Description: TiltViewer displays a rotating, zoom in, zoom out by the click of a mouse gallery. Again there are many options to set in the admin including the number of thumbnails per column and row.
[tiltviewer=GALLERY_ID,WIDTH,HEIGHT,LINK]
GALLERY_ID: The ID of the gallery you would like displayed
WIDTH: The width of the gallery on the page
HEIGHT: The height of the gallery on the page
LINK: The optional link text for the adding a link in place of the gallery that once clicked activates a JavaScript effect and displays the gallery.

AutoViewer
Description: AutoViewer is a feature rich slide show where you can specify in the admin the transition of one image to the next among other things.
[autoviewer=GALLERY_ID,WIDTH,HEIGHT,LINK]
GALLERY_ID: The ID of the gallery you would like displayed
WIDTH: The width of the gallery on the page
HEIGHT: The height of the gallery on the page
LINK: The optional link text for the adding a link in place of the gallery that once clicked activates a JavaScript effect and displays the gallery.

PostcardViewer
Description: PostcardViewer is almost a combination between the SimpleViewer and the TiltViewer in that it is a normal looking gallery however the images are tilted one way or another. The administration area has many of the same options as the nother options. Please note pcviewer instead of postcardviewer in the post tag.
[pcviewer=GALLERY_ID,WIDTH,HEIGHT,LINK]
GALLERY_ID: The ID of the gallery you would like displayed
WIDTH: The width of the gallery on the page
HEIGHT: The height of the gallery on the page
LINK: The optional link text for the adding a link in place of the gallery that once clicked activates a JavaScript effect and displays the gallery.

This is just a quick reference of the options available with the FlashViewer modules within WordPress. There are also some extra tags associated with flickr however I have never used those tags so I figured I would not be able to answer questions intelligently about those options.
