DIGG IT! I survived the dive trip to Cocos Island, Costa Rica but my move to San Francisco almost got me. I put together a photo viewer of my photographs I took on the dive trip. The photo viewer is view source enabled so feel free to take a look at the code.
The application uses an externally loaded XML file for the image metadata. I used E4x, data binding, and a custom item renderer for the image thumbnails. I also used constraint based layout and states to hide the thumbnails and layout the components.

Cocos Island Costa Rica Dive Photos
The trip was awesome. Highlights were night diving with 2000 reef sharks and swimming with a 30ft Whale Shark on our last dive (the big shadow towards the end).
More demos and projects coming...
cheers,
ted :)
Nice photos - I'm envious! Tried to do the Cocos trip myself, but only made it as far as Playas Del Coco - a sinus infection kept me on the beach. Was finally able to see a whale shark last year, though (Belize).
BTW, what kind of camera/equipment did you use?
I used an Ikelite housing with a Canon G5 with Sea&Sea Strobe. My Nikonus wide angle slide film is being developed and I have about 10 minutes of HD of the Whale Shark.
I will be posting FLV support for the Photo Viewer when I get a chance. The video of the whale shark gives much more context to the trip. If you get a chance to dive Cocos it is a dream dive trip.
Cheers,
Ted ;)
