Flex Barcode Reader
Mike Shaw (webqem)  
 

A component/class lib for Flex enabling it to read a barcode with an off-the-shelf webcam (it will need adjustable focus for best results). This demo RIA reads EAN13 barcodes, more specifically ISBN-13 barcodes and searches Amazon.com for the related book information.

   

Weather Information Service (Flex)
Graham Weldon  
 
To familiarise myself with the intricacies of XML handling, web services, and the transitions and states required for a complex and useful project, I decided to tinker with weather.com's weather service information, and present results in a nice Flex application.
     

Medford Family Gallery (Flex)
Jeff Medford  
 

My wife and I moved to The Netherlands a couple years ago...ended up having twins...so the family was pretty upset that we lived so far away. 

My personal site has over 4000 pictures and 200 videos of us and the kids...so I built a MySQL DB, PHP backend, and a Flex site to help my friends and family keep tabs on us. 

It is not complete, I have a ton more work to do on pagination and more features, but I just started with Flex and PHP when Beta 2 came out.
     

FC64 - Commodore 64 Emulator
Claus Wahlers  
 

FC64 is an Open Source Commodore 64 Emulator written in ActionScript 3 for Flash Player 9. The original hardware of the Commodore 64 has been re-created in software to allow the Flash Player to be used just like an original Commdore 64.

FC64 is not feature complete yet, but enough of the system works for it to be usable. You can write Commodore BASIC programs (e.g. POKE 53280,2), and even run game ROMs that are loaded into memory. A Flex user interface has been provided allowing you to load and play some public-domain games from Llamasoft.

Time Management Control
Gareth Edwards  
 

A control I've been working on in my spare time, for time management. I would have liked to have had it running in an application I
plan to create, but haven't had the time.

Although this control looks similar to one in the Flex Data services examples, I had this running before I knew about the FDS example.

     

SWFZ engine
Jonathan Halse

I was a complete newbie to 3D, so a lot of learning has happened to get to here.
