Code for Reddit style image Carousel that's on home page

Has anyone got any idea on how to implement this carousel into my website? I am using WordPress and I am not sure how to go about this. I was told to use 'foo gallery' to achieve the same look however, it doesn't really feel the same and also didn't work on my site (for some reason).
I have tried to code some of this but I am awful at coding and I am mainly just spending my time watching youtube help videos if I am being honest!
I'll explain my neeed for this and what I would like it to do and then, if you could help me that would be great!
So like on reddit, I would like to implement this feature on my home screen to show off some of the 'Hot topics of the day'. Preferably, some code could automatically update the images and text each day depending on the comments/views left on a page - so the top 4 most viewed pages would be automatically added to the front page with a custom image (which I have created). However, that seems quite hard. So just the layout/template of the images (like the photo provided) AND there is a way for me to manually change the images and names each day would suffice. I would also like to have 4 photos which also act as buttons with the curved boarders.(again, like the image I have attached)
Just so it's clear, I do not want these images to be able to move off like a slideshow, I just want them to stay in place and be able to change either manually or automatically.
Maybe this is called something other than a carousel and would be easy to do... i dont know! So if you do, please let me know.
Furthermore, I appreciate this is a place mainly for code to be posted however, I won't post my code as it is useless! If anyone wants to share any code or contact me privately then that would be very much appreciated.
Thank you

Windows phone 8 morse keyboard

I'm trying to develop my own app for windows phone 8, its an app to help visually impaired people text. I'm only starting off and im struggling to find stuff on how to create my own input method using a button so if the user taps or slides their finger on the screen it would print a letter into a text-box. Does anyone know if its even possible or any website to guide me in this task. thanks and any help would be much appreciated.
It is possible. Every UIElement has something like ManipulationStarted, ManipulationDelta and ManipulationCompleted events. You can play with them very well. Of course you need to program your own functions to recognize letters and so on.
You can read some information about that: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/ff426933(v=vs.105).aspx
I think you can find more articles if you search those events.

Custom cell in list in Flash AS3

I am no expert in Flash, and I need some quick help here, without needing to learn everything from scratch.
Short story, I have to make a list where each cell contains an image, two labels, and a button.
List/Cell example:
img - label - label - button
img - label - label - button
As a Java-programmer, I have tried to quicly learn the syntax and visualness of Flash and AS3, but with no luck so far.
I have fairly understood the basics of movie clips etc.
I saw a tutorial on how to add a list, and add some text to it. So I dragged in a list, and in the code went list.addItem({label:"hello"}); , and that worked ofc. So i thought if I double-clicked the MC of the list, i would get to tweak some things. In there I have been wandering around different halls of cell-renderers etc.
I have now come to the point that I entered the CellRenderer_skinUp or something, and customized it to my liking. When this was done, I expected i could use list.addItem(); and get an empty "version" of my cell, with the img, labels and the button. But AS3 expects an input in addItem. From my object-oriented view, I am thinking that i have to create an object of the cell i have made, but i have no luck reaching it.. I tried to go
var test:CellRenderer = list.listItem;
list.addItem(test);
..But with no luck.
This is just for funsies, but I really want to make this work, however not so much that I am willing to read up on ALOT of Flash and AS3. I felt that I was closing in on the prize, but the compiler expected a semicolon after the variable (list.addItem({test:something});).
Note: If possible, I do NOT want this:
list.addItem({image:"src",label:"text",label"text",button:"text"});
Well.. It actually is what I want, but I would really like to custom-draw everything.
Does anyone get what I am trying to do, and has any answers for me? Am I approaching this the wrong way? I have searched the interwebs for custom list-cells, but with no luck.
Please, any guiding here is appreciated!
Sti
You could use a Datagrid as well, with each column pointing to the appropriate part of the data source (possibly even the same field, depending on what you're doing). You can then just use the ImageCell as the renderer for the second and third colums.
I think you're just not understanding that Adobe, in the own woolly-headed little way, is separating the Model from the View on your behalf. You hand the Model to the View and then get out of the way. The extent of what you can/should change is just telling it what renderer to pop your data into.
In fact, the fl.controls don't give you much control at all about how they work--I wouldn't go down the road of trying to create a custom itemRenderer with any signifcant functionality for them if you don't fully understand how the Display List works and if you're not comfortable digging around in the debugger and ferreting out all kinds of undocumented information.
For more details (to the extent anyone knows anything about how these work), see
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/quickstart/datagrid_pt1.html

Do you have the option to use the Flex Framework instead of pure Flash? It makes this kind of extension much more satisfying. It's aimed more at application developers, whereas Adobe sees Flash users more as designers.

Any ideas on how to create a flying tile 3D transition just via script/classes?

Right guys,
I have been looking all over the internet for a tutorial to which will show me how to re-create this effect on images...
http://flash-effects.com/tutorial-image-transition-flying-tile-3d/
I dont want to install these 3rd party components, because the project I am working on at present, may in future need to be edited by other designers/developers.
Is there anyway to do this just via scripting???
Any feedback would be appreciated, im ideally looking for a tutorial...
Most of what you're looking for is here. Then download the Bitmap.zip example and look through it. Although I will reiterate what the page says, you really should buy the book. It's quite good and teaches a lot about Flash in general, not just game programming.
You'd still have to figure out how to randomize the height and width of the pieces, add an onClickListener, and then move the pieces. From the example you provided it looks like they're just moving them back and forth in a z-dimension.
Hope this helps.

name of click-to-expand widget

This is kind of a strange question, but what is the name of the widget that you can click on to show/hide content? Usually they have a triangle that you click on and it changes orientation. It is a pretty simple widget to write, but a few days ago somebody told me the generic name, and for the life of me I can't remember what it is called. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
Twisties, otherwise known as “Disclosure Triangles”
