A little weekend project to add more field types to Sitecore's arsenal: introducing Carousel.
What you hopefully see below (once the flash loads) is a "Carousel" field type, with a source set to a media library folder. User can select one of the thumbnails, or, if there are more items than can be fit in the available space, scroll to see more . The field value is an ID of the selected item, as you would expect.
Possible enhancements include multi-selection support, ability to work with regular (non-media) content items, better customization (how to get image and text) - the feedback is welcome.
The field requires Crestone and will hopefully run on the beta build. It's in a rough alpha shape, only tested in IE7, but hey, the CMS is in beta too. Ideally I'd like to move it to our shared source repository once it matures a little.
