AS3 Video Coverflow

AS3 Video Coverflow

Jun 6, 2009

So everyone likes the coverflow effect and everyone is using video these days. I wanted to do this effect in AS3 and thought it would be nice to release it to everyone.

Free MP3 Search Engine – Flex Seeqpod

This is just a quick and dirty example of a MP3 search engine. This searches Seeqpod and then brings the results back. Most of all it lets you download the MP3 straight from page. I tried to get some other search engines like Mooza, but they were way too slow. I would love some suggestions of sources and any other functionality you guys can think of. Anyways...
