Horizontal and Vertical Image scroll component

Today I am excited to release the ImageHScroller and ImageVScroller component. Its an auto scrolling component which can scroll the images from left to right or right to left, top to bottom or bottom to top. All you have to do is provide the data provider and the item renderer which can be used to that render the images. You can specify the direction based on the horizontal and vertical scrolling component you are going to use. It acts as marquee effect for the images.

Feel free to download the component and develop it on your own.

All Flex Web Services in one bag....

Recently I am trying to play with all the web services in flex and came to know about many things.
It was a very good learning exercise.
I have categorized them into several services....like Google Maps, Flickr, YouTube, Amazon Music Search, Yahoo Maps and Yahoo weather. Used Iframes for displaying Google Maps and You Tube videos....and believe me , it is really a bad experience....Iframes is such a hack in flex....no matter how hard you try...it will not render properly..... Playing with yahoo maps is a great pleasure...everything is available as an API all you have to do is call the API...Though POI marker is missing in the new release of their API all the basic functionalities are available in yahoo maps...

I will try and revisit this example some time in future adding more web services. Hope I will be able to come up with some meaningful mash up with all these web services. For now I will just provide the source code for all of them...

AIR Audio Video Player

I have determined to deliver one AIR application. After a busy week, I managed to stay a couple of late nights and finish this AIR application. This Audio and Video player is for desktop and can play mp3 and flv files for now. You can drag and drop the files from your local file system or can even add or remove the files to the play list. You can hide and show the play list. I wanted to extend it and provide may other features, but couldn't do it due to the time constraints. I’ll revisit this at some point in the future, but in the mean time feel free to play with it. Apologies for the poor design, my choice of colors is not that great. Please drop a comment if you need the source code for it. You can download and install the AIR file from here.
