Macromedia Labs - Showcase Gallery
Here at the Macromedia Labs Showcase Gallery, we'll be highlighting interesting projects, samples, applications and demos created by the Macromedia developer community.
Note: to properly view these featured Flex 2 showcase demos, you will need to have the Flash Player 8.5 Alpha installed. The Flash Player 8.5 Alpha is included with both the full and plug-in only installation packages of Flex Builder 2, available for download and evaluation from the Macromedia Labs website.
FlashVNC
Although currently incomplete, Darron Schall is working on FlashVNC- a VNC client built in AS 3 targeting Flash Player 8.5. Using binary sockets to connect to a TightVNC server by way of the RFB protocol, FlashVNC also implements DES encryption and should prove to be a great example of the speed improvements in AS3/Flash Player 8.5.
Keep an eye on FlashVNC's progress at Darron's weblog >
Flex TimePicker 2 Component
Randy Drisgill is working on a port of his Flex 1.x-based Flex TimePicker Component to ActionScript 3/Flex 2, which mimics the behavior of the Microsoft time picker (i.e. the picker control that's shown when you double-click the time in the Windows XP system tray). You can view his progress at the following URL- keep posted to Randy's weblog for updates!

AsFusion Feed Reader
AsFusion Reader is an application to read RSS feeds. It has built in channels such as MXNA and FullAsAGoog, and it also allows adding custom folders and feeds for those that are not included in one of the built in channels. Other features are the option to save interesting posts to read later, community tagging and Podcast listening.
