As seen at activeden. I’ve fixed it up a lot and made it much easier to incorporate into your own files.
A link list. Vertically scrolling list of links or just words. Scrolls and wraps automatically and interactively. Reads an external XML file containing just titles and paths and creates an interactive click-able link list!

Zero images is something that always gets me excited, I really like these arrow button styles! I like the css used more and the hover/active states too, nice css3 transitions. via Adobe-like Arrow Headers | CSS-Tricks. Tweet
After playing with the settings in my experiments I found a few settings I liked and wanted to develop further. The first was snow! An added bonus I was able to work on a project just for the holidays and used much of this code in it! I looked around the web and saw a [...]

Senseless waste of asterisks… Avis used an asterisk to denote optional fields. This means that there is a lot of baggage that comes with an asterixk. Somewhere this symbol got meaning, it’s not in the bible! We can control when something goes from unintuitive to intuitive. A design is intuitive (although technically and grammatically speaking [...]
The iPhone changed our industry in 2007: first mobile to have a desktop class web browser and it made people start using their mobile phones as computers!

I’m interested in seeing how the .fla file is put together for the dynamic vertical scrolling list with XML. However, I can’t open the linklist.fla file with Flash 8. What am I doing wrong. Thanks!
linklist.fla is a flash 9 file. I will upload a flash 8 version for you though…
I’ve made it flash 8 compatible and cleaned up the code a lot and now have moved it to Flashden:
Link List File
Hello evereyone!
How I can do to this flash not be a circular??
i.e. If I have 1 or 5 items in the xml, how I can stop the movement of the list when the last item is showed?
Bye! Thanks!
Instead of having text, can I have thumbnails instead? So that when clicked the user will be redirected to another site. At the same time when the user mouseover, a short description of the image will be provided? Thanks for answering my query.
@cachabacha -
Check out the alternate version: Dynamic Flash Scrolling Link List XML driven Component on FlashDen
This one does not wrap around. Once it reached the end of the list it simply stops.
it’s cool. but im not sure if this works on my site.. can i promote this in my two blog sites for a certain period then get one for free?
Thank you. it;s work great
i am new to web design… so I may ask dumb questions…
can i change the colors of this?
also, is there a way to incorporate this on an html page?
thanks for your time!
@kristina – Yes, you can customize the color and easily embed the list into an html page.
would you be willing to walk me through it? It’s been hell trying to figure it out on my own.
@kristina – I’m happy to answer any questions.
Open the file in flash and select the movie clip on the stage and double click it to edit it’s contents. Then select the item you’d like to change the color of and edit the color in the properties window. Then search embedding flash in html and you will find plenty of examples. I prefer swfobject. This post I wrote about flashvars will even explain the basics of embed codes http://circlecube.com/2008/05/tutorial/flashvar-tutorial/, Thanks for reading
