Are you talking about the SpringGraph component?

by wires, if I click on a book, it would retrieve data from Amazon on
that book.

All those bookcovers were floating around, allowing the user to drag
in the web and all things would follow.

I'd love to see some example code on how to do this - can anyone help me ?

I tryed to post this yesterday - but it never showed up here - so
sorry for the double posts if it should arrive twice.

Thanks,

This isn't quite the same link, but it is a Flex app that uses Amazon's
webservices API:

That uses the SpringGraph component that you can get off of Adobe 
Exchange. It's an amazing component, by far the most impressive one I've 
seen posted to the exchange.
