Thanks for the comments. For images, I like doing flash for several reasons, but one is for the ease of the individual loading. I have also run into some memory issues with larger carousels and cycles if you allow them to auto-rotate for a significant length of time.

I typically use Flex builder for the ease of compiling and debugging.

Nice work. Nice photography as well

Do you use Flex builder (or Flash Builder) to develop this or just the Flash code editor?

Thanks for sharing your code/techniques!
