New additions to the plugin directory include: favorites, incorporating support forums into it's own tab for each plugin as well as support stats being displayed! Great! I think we also need the ability to give plugins ratings and reviews (bonus points if it can be done from within a wordpress admin dashboard when installing plugins). [...]

A great developer story about the differences on what Git is vs other version control and what Git is not. This is how we should learn it. I heard over and over that it was distributed, but never grasped what that meant, so here are a few links and explanations that will help unlearn version [...]
I'm very excited to share the news that the tween library from GreenSock (hands down the best tweening library I used in flash) is not ported for use in javascript! This will be great! I missed that simple syntax from as3 when animating javascript, and now I can have my cake and eat it too. [...]

I've been secretly hoping to see a few of these pop up once the whole icon font idea spread through the nets. I really like this idea and it's a very nice implementation too! I only see some quality issues on a couple of the icons (such as youtube), but it's awesome and I hope [...]

I’d show a photo here and link to the swf on flashden since they take steps to keep the swf from easily being decompiled
I have downloaded this file, but the header is missing (the select a tag header) and when you click on the links the URLs do not work! Please help.
The file has been updated and now looks like the one hosted at FlashDen.
The header is gone, but that was just a layer with a gray box and a text box…
The links work for me… you may have to allow pop-up links from the site.
The text and the urls are stored in an external xml file.
Can i replace the text with images instead? Then when I mouseover the image, a 2 or 3 -word description will appear. All these achievable via the XML file. I do believe I can configure the width and height of the menu. Lastly can I remove the alternate strips appearing in the scroller?
Beng,
This file doesn’t do what you’re asking about. It is strictly text links.
Thanks for the suggestions. I’m actually working on another version that would do what you wanted though… I’ll be sure to let you know with a new post when it’s done.
Hi,
this scrolling link list is something I looked for for a looong time.
Now, since flashden is down from some reason, can someone please email me this list if it is no problem. Static (non-wrapping) version is ok for me too.
Thanks
Alan
Ok, Flashden finally loaded and I see now it’s not for free and that’s OK.
I have one question though. Is it possible to make this script not automatic (static)?
Yes, that is totally possible.
