New ActionScript 3.0 Mashups!
May 5th, 2008
Recently, we rolled out three new IMG Gallery Mashups for ActionScript 3.0: IMG Number Gallery (AS 3.0), IMG Thumbnail Gallery (AS 3.0), IMG Thumbnail Tooltip Gallery (AS 3.0)
These new mashups were released as upgrades to our older IMG Gallery components (which are now free) and owners of those should see the new versions in their account.
How do Mashups work?
Going forward, we are going to release mashups just like we would release new components. Mashups are combinations of several components that create an application. Here’s what you get with a mashup purchase:
- The components required to create the mashup will be added to your account and can be used separately on future projects (usually for cheaper than they could each be purchased seperately)
- A working example of the mashup with all of the code required to create it
- An easily editable, well organized set of files (.fla, .xml, etc) so that you can customize the look and feel or functionality of the mashup
If you have any questions or feedback, please post here. Thanks!

[...] Mashups are AFComponents way of combining several of their AS3 components to create an application. There are many fantastic Flash components available on the web, however, it can be a little hard to picture some of them being used as real world applications. AFComponents helps by creating these mashups to show their users that more can be done with their components. This is great for the Flash stock community as we see more and more redundant components being made every day. This is AFComponents way of stepping out of the crowd. [...]
