Yeah, sorry guys, the link went away. I don’t know Dan personally, no idea if it’s migrated somewhere else, but we should probably assume it’s gone for good

Thank you for developing such a cool component!

I’m an absolute newbie to Flex and flash.
After many tests and errors, I build up my first CoverFlow.
But I don’t know how to do further more / extra advance.

I want to know how to fetch a HTTP service (XML/ RSS) and loop the Panel image URL.
And click event to other URL.

Is there any examples I can follow? Thanks.

ok – got it…

it was a case of setting the ‘Source Path’ for the Flex Project to where I had extracted the components of the ‘dougmccune_coverflowlib.zip’ file.

Then – copying the ‘CoverFlow_lib.swc’ file into the ‘/libs’ directory of the Flex Project.

Flex updates and includes the custom components in the component library!

Viola!
