This is not a simple task, Just from looking at it you would need intermediate coding know how to pull that off, it deffinatly wouldnt be just 1 simple line of code. Need to know about Arrays, and event listeners, all kinds of cool stuff

Yes.. I know it has lot of work.. It would be great if you guide me on what to explore? I am beginner to Flash but has good programming skills in many other technologies. I can just pickup if given guideline or link on how to create a menu with images... Just a guideline like which site I should refer , Is action script 3 is enough? or should I go for flex?.. Flash builder is the right platform?.. Or should I make it completely in html... Some starting hint from where I can explore.

This sort of thing could be done with Flash. Even if someone had an example of something like this, I doubt very much that they would just give you the code necessary to accomplish this. Here's a good place to start to learn about game development in Flash: Game development | Adobe Developer Connection.

A Google search on "Flash Game Development" will give you a long list of sites that have tutorials and samples that should give you some starting code.

Actionscript 3.0 Game Programming University, 2nd Edition by Gary Rosenzweig and Flash Game Development: In a Social, Mobile and 3D World by Keith Gladstien Are two good books on the subject.

Thank you Rob... I had given this  work to a company and they are taking more time than I expected. I want to help them out with right suggestions. Answer to following questions would help

1. Should I use any library for making something some what similar to this.. I just need an interface in which user select something looking at picture.

2. Actionscript 3.0 is the right technology?

3. Any code for menu tray with pictures available in net?
