Since I posted the Flex DisplayShelf component, I’ve had a number of people ask me how I got the 3D tilting effect in the decidedly-non-3D Flash player. So today I posted an interactive sample that shows how the tilting effect is achieved. Check it out here:

Hey there,
My developers have looked into the DisplayShelf but have one question.
They need some integration codes so that they can have a rough idea on how to call the Adobe Flex’s codes on their existing PHP codes? how can this be done?
Also do you provide a customization service? where you can customise some features? I can send you a modification plan which has a couple of modifications. Or do you know of a Flex developer who you can refer me to?
Thanks in advance.

We figured out how to easily and effectively work around the null object reference bug that many have seen with this component. We documented the two use cases over at my blog, including what the one-line of code fix was.
