Is there a way (which Im sure there is) to show only the internal part of the carousel? Meaning only show the images in the back, so that the image in the very center would be furthest away from you and rotate closer to the user and the edge of the stage as you scroll.

OK … so get this. If you use Tweener instead of GTween, you get the full revolution when clicking on the first item and clicking on the last item (see Mark G’s note – same issue but with Tweener).

I have been racking my brain for months with this (using Tweener) and never thought to look at the tweening classes as the cause of my problems. In PV3D I have been using Quaternion matrix and slerp!!

I’ll contact Zeh to see what the deal is with Tweener.

Duh, finally figured out my dilemma. Had to set the autoRotation property.

i.e.

var tw:GTween = new GTween(container, 0.8, {rotationY:targetRotation}, ease:Exponential.easeOut});

tw.autoRotation = true;

Great stuff Lee.

Anyone figured out how to get the carousel to rotate seamlessly in both directions? When you get to the last item in the carousel and then click the first one, it rotates all the way back instead of one position forward. Similarly, when you’re at the first item and click on the last one on the left, it rotates forward all the way around to the end instead of just going back one slot.

Any ideas?

How would I do this without the step in Flash at the start? i.e. Only using Flex builder. I presume I have to create the 3d view container somehow but can’t get started. Any pointers?

Lee as always fantastic tutorial. I basically have the same question as Brent, how would we add a URL / hyperlink to each photo on max size so that when the viewer clicks it will take them to a website?

This worked out great for me! Thank you so much. I know Lee said that this is advanced, and I can make images go to new URL’s when they’re movie clips. I was wondering if someone could tell me how I could get it to go to a new URL for each image clicked with this.
Thanks!

Great tutorial and beautiful carousel. I am very interested in using this carousel in my Flex 3 app but I am not sure how to go about integrating it into Flex. Does anyone happen to know how I could integrate this app inside of Flex? I would also like to make the carousel dynamic so that I can pass in the XML to the carousel from Flex. I have not used Flash before so any help/tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
