XML-Driven 3D Spinning Menu and Photo Gallery in Flash CS4

Due to the great popularity of our earlier spinning gallery, we present
a much improved version of the gallery and of the underlying
SpinnerMenu AS3 class. The new gallery is XML-driven and
thus easily customizable; each instance has its own PerspectiveProjection
object which makes several instances of the menu in the same movie look
good; loaded images can easily be captioned. Don’t miss this one!
