So everyone needs an XML Banner in Actionscript 2 and honestly I am kind of tired of making them over and over again. I would rather work on something big and beautiful. You can use this for whatever you want. It reads off of an XML where you can set it to show them in random order, set the time the banners have to show and other such features. View Demo Here is...

So I made this awhile ago as an experiment. It seemed to me that Flex was perfect for an interactive RSS Reader. A lot of people have problems with getting remote RSS feeds (and my solution I am sure is not perfect). If anyone finds a better solution please pass it on in the comments.

So anyone who knows me knows I LOVE Flex. I also found I love AIR. If you don’t know about these two technologies then you must check them out and give them a fair chance.

Its got the normal bar that adjusts its width based on the amount loaded and then when its done loading everything it goes to the...

Hey Guys, Sorry its been so long since my last post.

Anyways I thought I would share this example I made for my work with you guys (don’t worry I have their permission). This is a HD Flash...

So, people have been commenting a lot on the iTunes Cover Flow. Mostly they are good comments, but there were a few suggestions. I made one suggestion that seemed to make sense and was very easy to implement. New Feature: -Link based on XML for the Artist and the Album. If no link is given then the button is disabled. -Link is placed on the actual text of the...

Hey Everyone, Love Apple? Love iTunes? Love looking at all your albums in your iTunes in a sense of accomplishment. Now you can do it in flash. Great way to show off those piece of work or just have a photo album. I hope someday someone takes this and hooks it up with an API to some music service. That would be amazing. Anyways here is the example and then the...
