Has anyone posted AS3 source code for creating scrolling thumbnails? Better yet, has anyone found one that gets its images from an XML document?

I’m sure I’ve see a AS3 version somewhere every flash web site is pure AS3 now.

I’m very sorry about that. I’m new to this website and wasn’t aware of that. I don’t mean anything wrong by that.

This example has a scrolling thumbnails track, with images drawn in from XML

Its procedural - timeline based. I coded it up when I was first moving from AS2 to AS3, so I wanted to compare how to do something in AS3 using I’d done before.

The fullbrowser gallery in this section by teaspoons has a thumbnail track as well, with a nice class approach.
