Hi All,

 

My first post so apologies if i do any mistakes!

 

I have a question, I wish to have a 3d carousel much like a flash one in the below link :

however, i wish the images to be dynamically generated and at the same time txt 'beneath' the picture to be dynamically updated also...

 

so whats best to use? flash? ajax?

 

Also anyone have any examples? I wish to get it connected to a back end and probably use a content management system.

 

thanks

AJ

Performance isn't really an issue here. By using JavaScript+HTML you're probably gonna run into some browser compatibility issues with the layout and the code. ActionScript on the other hand is harder to get into and Flash interfaces generally aren't as nice as JS ones.

 

Anyway, if you need to ask this you're probably best off downloading a ready-made script. I'm sure you'll find something from Google.

Flash Loaded offer a number of 3D carousel type Flash components but there are other if you search for 'carousel flash component' or '3d flash component'. Most of these components use xml files for the data (image paths, links, text etc) and if you're using something like php you can create the xml file on the fly using data from a database.
