Flex DisplayShelf Component

A DisplayShelf lets you display your image files in iTunes style. It’s a pretty cool way of presentation. In Flex I have used two libraries to achieve such a view.

The first one is what I saw on a popular webcast of James Ward and Bruce Eckel to display Flickr images. You can get more information about this component on http://www.quietlyscheming.com/blog/components/tutorial-displayshelf-component/ Go there and download necessary ActionScript files of DisplayShelf.as and TiltingPane.as

Flex component that imports contacts via OpenInviter.

this is a gr8 component found.

One of the requirements called for importing contacts from their email addresses. With the number of websites implementing contact importers these days, there would be plenty of Flex components out there to import your contacts.

One such thing is OpenInviter.

As of now, it allows you to import contacts from 62 different email and social network providers. :)

Designing for Flex – Part 1: Overview and introduction to Flex | Adobe Developer Connection

Adobe Flex is a new medium specifically created for designing and developing rich Internet applications, or RIAs. RIAs are a new breed of applications that break out of the constraints of traditional web and desktop environments to provide a more fluid, information-focused user experience. Flex makes it much easier to create these experiences, but it requires application designers and developers to think differently about the application design problem than they did when creating traditional web and desktop applications.
