Flash (or Ajax) Carousel
Our request is as follows:
We need a 3d flash carousel where we can have:
– A large ammount of items;
– Load an external javascript function whenever we click an item;
– Items composed of a large image, a title and an id or link that will be sent along the javascript function;
– Easy navigation between each item, slowing down as the mouse comes closer to the center, ultimately to a stop;
– Items loaded dynamically without creating new files, much like in http://www.3dcarousel.com/DeveloperEditions/3DCarouselV1/tabid/58/Default.aspx where a Response.php file prints the xml info that the swf will use in real time (we accept suggestions for another alternative as long as we can load the items dynamically).
– A water reflection effect;
– Images circling slowly even when the mouse leaves the active area;
– Configurable parameters:
– Image size;
– Rotation speed when the mouse is active;
– Rotation speed when the mouse is outside the active range;
– Turning auto circling when the mouse is outside the active area on and off;
– Set coordinates for the box holding the image title, size and height, as well as background color, text color, corder color and border width;
– Size/range of the water reflection.
It must be:
– Lightweight;
– A circle carousel, much like the other referrenced further down;
– Adaptive to size (this could be archieved by adding configurable x and y axis parameters for the circling animation);

You’re welcome to use any php, javascript, html, xml swf you’ll need as long as we get full access to the source code (including the .fla files).
