Dear readers,

Here I want to share some resources, which you may find interesting when looking for flash ready-to-use solutions.

I hope the following links will answer the question: “Where to find a free flash component I need?

The idea is that you’d better know about the things and functionality you can use for free before you start to implement it yourself. Believe me, that may save you a lot of time and energy.

1) A really first place for you to take a look at is Adobe Exchange. There is a variety of free flash components: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm

2) Also I would recommend you to check Yahoo’s free flash components release, which includes a batch of useful components you may use at no charge:

  • AutoComplete,
  • AlertManager,
  • AudioPlayback ,
  • BarChart, ColumnChart, LineChart, and PieChart,
  • HBoxPane, VBoxPane, FlowPane, TilePane and BorderPane,
  • Menu ,
  • MenuBar ,
  • TabBar ,
  • Tree
