For now my site shows no reflections and the last playlist doesnt load. This is because I have forgotten my FTP password and cant update the XML files; so the variables set to their defaults. I need to wait until my brother finishes work so he can get me my password :stuck_out_tongue:

Let me know your thoughts :slight_smile:

Hi nathan99.

any chance of getting the component to grow dynamically like the one in searchme.com ?

i want to use it with amfphp to get the data by demand.
I have spent a day making my own “iTunes Artwork” (because i couldnt understand your code) but it seems like its harder than it looks :stare: , you can see what i have so far at :
http://masgdl.com/tests/coverrFlow/itunes.swf
and the sources :
http://masgdl.com/tests/coverrFlow/itunes.zip

im trying to keep it simple , tomorrow i will continue with this but it will be great to use yours instead .
Anyway great work :thumb2:

As long as the data comes through in the XML (ie xml is generated by php or something) you can get it to do that, which is what I’d assume searchme does, with perhaps a few tweaks
