Cover flow using the Esoteric Framework, take 1
I created a new demo this evening and added it to the Esoteric Framework website.'This application is the first attempt to create a 3D interface similar to the cover flow feature found in Apple iTunes using the Esoteric Framework. It was built to test the features and limitations of the first preview release of the framework. Drag the slider's handle at the bottom to scroll the pictures.'I'm pretty happy with the result, especially given the primitive nature of the first release of the framework. It was easier to implement than I expected (I wasn't sure if I could pull it off), and the source code is pretty short. I was also able to identify the features I need to implement in the short term. One of them being the ability to dynamically create elements, so that the application tree can be manipulated by scripts. Also basic control structures in scripts would be nice. Give it a try online right here. You probably need a decent CPU for this to run smoothly. Flash can't use 3D acceleration at the moment =(

Edit:
Just fixed a bug when dragging outside the movie clip. Also improved the source code with recursion.
