Could you give a sample AS3 code to make a "image tray menu" something similar to https://apps.facebook.com/playsuburbia/ ????. If ActionScript can’t do it? what should I use?

Could you give a sample AS3 code to make a "image tray menu" something similar to [link removed by moderator]????.   If ActionScript can’t do it? what should I use? 

If As3 can't do it, what else can do it?

This is the kind of menu tray for which I am looking for sample. Thanks in advance.

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?

1. I gave you a list of sources where you might find some code that works in a way similar to your sample. I have no idea what your sample is supposed to do. I don't know anything about anything in Facebook.

2. If you are working in Flash the use AS3, not AS2.

3. See answer 1. above.

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.
