Andrei Ionescu of FLEX{er} presented a new MXML component called ImageRail. This MXML component displays a series of thumbnails with the capability to scroll them horizontally. While ImageRail has a nice set of features it is fully extendable and is actually encouraged to do so.
Modifiable Parameters Include:
- paths: an array containing URLs to images
- images: an array containing image objects
- imagesToShow: an unsigned integer that specifies the number of images displayed at a time
- imagesGap: an unsigned integer that specifies the gap between images
- passePartout: an unsigned integer that specifies the white padding around each image
- effect: a function that in fact is the easing function (total of 10)
- effectDuration: an unsigned integer that specifies the duration in milliseconds
- height: a number that specifies the height of the component, based on which all others measures are calculated
- width: a number that specifies the width
You can view the component and download the source via FLEX{er}. This is a nice contribution to the Flex community. Now I just need to figure out how I can use this in an existing or future project. Enjoy!
Update: ImageRail Update: Adding Click Event, Styles And Handcursor

Hmmm! I just tried it now and it seems fine. I would try again if you’re interested.
