It’s not new that when it comes to exploring your computer, searching files, copying and deleting files and folders – you need to have need a good files manager.
Window’s default Explorer is a nice files manager – but lacks in hotkeys, dual views, multiple tabs in one window, customizing appearance and all operations right in the tip of your fingers. That’s where the excellent NexusFile comes in very handy. It combines all the lacks of Explorer in one place – and does it very well.
One of the features that I like in NexusFile is the ability to customize the interface. As a designer – it gives me the power to create cool skins and customize the look and feel of this excellent file manager. This is one of the skins I decided to create.

Hi Swishmax users.
Since Swishmax2 has so many UI components – some are the great usual ui we need and some are special as the 3d carousel, shape tween and so on – I havn’t seen any treeview component yet for swishmax. So, I began developing one – mostly based on the logics of flash treeview component (took flash 8 tree component as a reference to learn the object).
The TreeView is based on an xml document. According to the definition of Flash 8 Reference – “The Tree component allows a user to view hierarchical data”. This data comes from an external xml file.

Hello to all google chrome fans.
When I used to use explorer (windows explorer for my computer’s files) as a file manager to explore my computer / my documents (and so on…), I liked the option of the “Up” button – which was simply goes up to the parent folder of wherever I was located at the moment. It’s a quick snd short way of exploring the computer and moving between folders and their parents for doing all kind of operations on files (as for today – for files manager – I use the excellent NexusFile – for which i create free themes as well).

Hi Swishmax 2 users and flash users (as well as web designers, web developers).
3dCarousel version 2 is the new version of my famous flash 3d carousel component for Swishzone’s Swishmax 2 alternate flash creation IDE.
3dCarousel V2 allows you to easily create and simulate a 3d carousel flash effect from images and items in your swishmax project.
New features in 3dCarousel version 2:
In version 1, you would have to use script in order to load different images to the carousel and attach button’s event to them.
Now – You can import images to swishmax and the component will make it all happen. As for button events – just put the script on the image/movieclip as you are familiar with ( on(release) {} ).
You can customize behaviors, colors and each item to act differently (with the version 2) – you can insert script to any object you chose to put inside the component.
There are new buttons to control the 3d carousel – left and right buttons to control the movement as well as a play button – all within the end result of a small swf file effect.
A new public API is available for actionscript as in Easing Tweens 2 Component (example for the flash carousel actionscript API using is included inside the component).
