I’m looking to do an effect similar to the way the new Apple OS displays files and the new iPod touch displays album covers (where they are at an angle until they slide into the center of the screen). You should be able to see an example of what I’m talking about here: [http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/guidedtour/](http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/guidedtour/)  
or here [http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/finder.html](http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/finder.html)

I thought I saw a component for this a while back, but may be mistaken.

Thanks 🙂

It’s done using the Sandy distortImage class, it’s in AS3, developed using Flex2/AS3.  
And it’s in french ☹
