how about this idea with flash catalyst? Can it happen in next version or before the release?

Hi friends,

Let me come straight to my interest! I love to see this in further version of flash catalyst or silvelright!

I create a datalist control asset using photoshop. Bring this into Flash catalyst by importing the artworks. Then selecting respesctive artwork and making it as an horizontal list control with custom way for sliding between thumbnails with some description text.

Till now it is 100% possible with flash catalyst beta 1.

Can flash catalyst team further tweak this ui design tool to go ahead and select the data template and add custom interaction where, we can go ahead and give the path in such a way it makes a 180 degree carousel in seconds without any coding. I just need to go into the template and draw/move the positions for 5 thumbnails which sits within the width area of the datatemplate, then all the thumbnails follow the path.

This might be two much, but next wish is to, create states within the data template for loading the thumbnails into list control with custom animations, loading the thumbnail when some search is changed , i mean on layout updated on the datalist.

So in short , my wish is second level tweaking of layout needs to be done within data driven controls.

If this happens, web technology will go more higher level without much coding! so coding can be used to further tweak!
