Bubble Chart : NY Times

off late, I am working on creating a flex map which look like the NY Times chart. The NY times has a really nice interactive bubble chart known as the Sector Graphic Chart. To start with, I have taken an example from Ely Greenfield and started working on it. I still didn't get how to manually display the bubble tooltip. I have to create a custom tooltip and show it when the mouse moves over the data grid.

I will be adding more functionalities to this. Please see the sample demo here...

You can find the original NY Times here...

AIR Mp3 Player with Cue Points

A cue point is any significant moment in time occurring within a video clip. Cue points enable you to access different segments of a video clip. In flex and flash you can create and manage cue points in a variety of ways.

For Audio, Unfortunately there is not much support for creating cue points. There is a nice article on creating cue for mp3 files in the adobe site.

I tried out this small player with cue point support in AIR. In this application you can add cue points for a selected song. You can remove a specific cue point for a selected song. You can remove all the cue points at once. The cue points are persisted across relaunches through AIR SQLite. Download it here...

AIR Desktop

Tried out this application last night. Took most of the widgets from Stardock Desktopx.

Not Licensed though. I am looking for AIR/flash/flex Desktop widgets which are open source and are ready to plug and use. You need to have Desktopx installed for this application to run.

Please give the links in the comments section.


Please give a try and give me your feedback. Download it.
