IT is probably using Adobe FLEX to get this information for a database. My husband knows more about it than I do. I will ask him if he knows.

I'm pretty sure this is flash with XML. I know I saw a tutorial like this, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I'm checking around...

Are you talking about the light-up rollover effect, the scrolling-jump thing that happens when you click on a button, or the whole thing?
Either way, it looks like simple tweening to me. The light-up is an _alpha transition between the lit graphic and the dark one, and the scrolling is most likely accomplished by stacking the larger graphics on top of each other filmstrip style -- onClick, the "filmstrip" tweens from it's current position to a pre-designated _y position.
If you want to learn how to do these effects, do a search on mx.transitions.Tween -- there's a ton of tutorials out there, depending on your comfort level and what version of Flash you've got.
(The only part of the page that seems to be Flash is that central zone with the purses and shoes, and onClick it just leads you to an HTML page -- so I'd actually be surprised if they were using XML or Flex for this.)

the reason I say XML is because if they planned on changing the front image from shoes and purses to jewelry and shirts or something all you would have to do is change the XML file to reference the new images. All of the effects would remain the same. That way you don't have to build it from scratch every time you want to change the images. (Makes sense if this is for the layout.)
Some are extensions and some are tutorials. There are more in the comments section. I found some to be particularly useless, but there are a few interesting ones. I always wonder how much you can manipulate the ones they sell as extensions, but you can't really know that unless you fork out the $$ which kind of sucks.

No I can do tweening...It is more the scrolling effect of the images, kinda like a gallery, I need a good scrolling gallery tutorial...there are so many bad ones out there. Thanks for all your help.

it could be done in Flex but from the way it loads it looks more like Flash, and mostly just straight actionscript. for the nice tweening library called tweener that could produce similar results. I could put together a tutorial, but I don't have much time right now. sorry.

The way it looks and behaves (scrolling and whatnot) is definitely flash. I still can't find the tutorial I was looking for but I did find this: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2007/10/12/flas...
