For the Flex 2 product pages on adobe.com I recorded a screencast of [a Flex app being built in 11 minutes][1]. For Flex 3 I recorded [a new version of that screencast][2]. In the new version I used [Doug McCune's CoverFlow component][3] but extended it to easily support playing videos. Check out [a demo of the VideoCoverFlow component][4] and right-click to download the [source code][5]. For those trying to use the VideoCoverFlow component - the implementation has changed slightly since I recorded the screencast so check out the myTube application for an example of how to use it.

Thanks Doug for the CoverFlow component.
