I just want to let you, the users of FlashOtaku components, know that the components were recently updated and Live Preview was added. This feature will enable you to see how the component will be rendered, at design time. This is pretty useful, as you will see. You can just re-download the component and enjoy the new feature.
The feature was added for the commercial components only… Continue reading
This post is Part 2 of the Flash Components Mashups series.
In this tutorial I will make the application a little more interactive. I’ll let the “Auto Slideshow” feature activated, but this time I want to be able to jump to different slide when I click on a thumbnail. For this example I will use the StackFlow and the Slideshow components. Click on the bellow image… Continue reading
Today I’ll begin a series of posts about how you can integrate two or more components together in order to create more complex and interesting flash applications. As you will see, this is very easy to achieve.
I’ll start with a very basic example in which I will create an image gallery (slideshow + thumbnails). For this example I need to use the Slideshow component and the… Continue reading

In this tutorial I will use the Carousel component, but it’s the same… Continue reading
Lately there were some questions about the possibility of adding new elements to the XML file when working with the Slideshow or Thumbnail Scroller components. The answer is yes, you just need to parse the XML file again. Two weeks ago I made a tutorial on how you can add new elements to the Thumbnail Scroller component. It’s pretty easy to do it, once you know how to work with XML in AS3. Continue reading
This time I will show you how you can add an auto slideshow feature to the Slideshow component, using the Timer class. It’s pretty easy to do this, if you know how to use the Timer class, so I will just show you the code without explaining each step, but if you have any specific question, fell free to ask. Also make sure to read the documentation for the Slideshow component. Continue reading
Adding this feature to the Thumbnail Scroller Component is pretty easy but requires some knowledge on working with XML. In this tutorial I will show you how to do this using Actionscript 3. Continue reading
