Build, steal, buy, or borrow… These would be the four basic ways you can make your applications a reality, pretty much regardless of the language you develop in. Flash and Flex development is no different in this regard.
Building will get you what you want, provided you have the skills to do it, but could take a load of time. Time obviously equals money. Stealing source code is of course unethical and I would never endorse it, for the obvious immediate moral implications. But furthermore, it is simply not a commercial option when developing work for clients due to long term legal issues. Buying code or components is often a great way to rapidly make progress that would otherwise take a long time to build. Borrowing code or the closest parallel I could think of, using open or free libraries, components, frameworks or APIs, is often the smartest thing to do when building an application of scale or one that requires a short timeline to deployment.

The JS code can be seen if you do a “View Source” on the Solution page. There are two ways to use it - simple copy & paste or the JS include file method. Note that you must have height and width attributes specified for each image. Other attributes (class, alt, title & style) are optional so far as this routine is concerned, but are respected if specified. Read the rest of this entry »
