Hello, As I am still painfully aware of the fact that I am still new to Flex, I was wondering if you or anyone for that matter, would want to help me to do this for my the Poetry Magazine that I publish online. It would be so great to have this kind of thing for the presentation of a poetry magazine online. I would gladly give full credit to anyone who would help make this happen. Our magazine shows up in position 4-6 of the generic results on yahoo.com when searching on poetry magazine. Maybe "generic" is not the word but I mean not on the paid listings on the search engine.
It would thus be good exposure and if anyone here enjoyss poetry, that would be another incentive (I hope). I'm referring to the FlexBook component that is available under an Open-Source license. I could just stick the text on the first example use of this component, where we use somewhat transparent slides. Transparency is good at times but probably not needed for my poetry magazine.
