3D Carousel / Image gallery displays images on a carousel. 

Loads images through an external XML file, you don't need a FLA file to change the images.

You can:

• Edit the XML file with any text editor and its very easy to understand. Here is an example:

<image file="images/505101.jpg" original="images/505101_big.jpg"></image>

• Add unlimited number of images to the carousel with XML.
• Use your keyboard arrow keys to flip through large images and Esc key to unzoom the camera.
• Change the number of images in a row, with the same XML file,  and the number of rows are calculated automatically.

You should see the demo.

If you are a flash developer, you should have seen lots of comboBox designs and they're always different from each other. And the default comboBox component in flash? You know how it is, I realy don't need to say anything about it.

So, I needed a comboBox that is easily editable, easy to use and more developer friendly; and I decided to create one. So here it is:

And yeah, it's open source and licensed under creative commons noncommercial license.

You can edit the skin, just like editing a movieclip and use its methods as easy as standard combobox.

It has ability to arrange the position of the list automatically, according to the combobox' positon on stage, so the list will be opening on the above or below of the combobox.

 
comboBox.dataProvider("String","String","String","String");
comboBox.dataProvider({label:"String", data:2},{label:"String", data:3},{label:"String", data:4});
comboBox.addItem("String");
comboBox.addItem({label:"String", data:2});
comboBox.listItemsLeftMargin = 0;
comboBox.listItemsRightMargin = 0;
comboBox.listItemsTopMargin = 0;
comboBox.listItemsBottomMargin = 0;
comboBox.itemDefaultColor = 0x3CBDE3;
comboBox.itemOverColor = 0x3399CC;
comboBox.itemPressColor = 0xFFFFFF;
comboBox.itemSelectedColor = 0xA4E0F2;
comboBox.itemDefaultTextColor = 0x003366;
comboBox.itemOverTextColor = 0x000000;
comboBox.itemPressTextColor = 0x999999;
comboBox.itemSelectedTextColor = 0x3333;
comboBox.setSize(150);
comboBox.size = 150 ;
comboBox.value;
comboBox.getValue();
comboBox.getSelectedItem();
comboBox.getSelectedIndex();
comboBox.clear();
comboBox.length;

If you try to dispatch a MouseEvent in a dispatchEvent(), you will get an Error that says "cannot convert "click"(or whatever) to flash.events.Event". So here is the trick for that:

movieClipInstanece.dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent(MouseEvent.CLICK, true, false));
