Mashups are AFComponents way of combining several of their AS3 components to create an application. There are many fantastic Flash components available on the web, however, it can be a little hard to picture some of them being used as real world applications. AFComponents helps by creating these mashups to show their users that more can be done with their components. This is great for the Flash stock community as we see more and more redundant components being made every day. This is AFComponents way of stepping out of the crowd.
How do Mashups work?
Upon purchasing a mashup, you receive the components required and the necessary code to create the mashup as they will be added to your account and can be used separately on future projects. Also, it is important to note that you typically spend less if purchased individually.
Stack and Scroll
This mashup was originally created for the AFC homepage. However, due to popular demand, it has become a mashup. Included are: 3D Stack (AS 3.0) and Scroll Panel (AS 3.0).

Take UMapper for a Test Drive:
UMapper’s map creation is very intuitive as it is very obvious what options and settings are available to modify. There is also a very handy export to actionscript feature that’ll do exactly that. It exports all related actionscript in an AS3 format. Give it a shot and see what you can come up with.
