Hi,
I checked the websites above and I found some interesting components. However, the links for #1, #2 and #6 don’t work. Another source of free components is http://www.flashxml.net. Their products are very customizable because are based on xml files, and it’s easy to change a setting in a xml file instead to modify the source code.

I implemented a carousel as well on my blog but just recently found out it was not working in Safari. I’m using the jcarousel, so anybody got a working suggestion ?

Some nice carousels there, they make a great feature on the pages.

I’d like to suggest two more: http://www.grahammcdonnell.co.uk and http://www.nclud.com .

Grahammcdonnell’s offers an auto-advance with the ability to manually go forward (or back) one slide at a time. The auto-advance will automatically resume after manual interface.

In Nclud’s there is an auto advance for the four tabs — in this case, clients. For each tab three screen grabs appear. While the left-most screen grab is the largest by default, mouseover any one of the three and its size enlarges to indicate an active link. One can manually manually navigate by clicking on any tab. The auto-advance resumes.

That the items in Nclud’s carousel are active links coupled with vertical tabs present a similar solution to the navigation presented in MetaLab Design’s.

It’s often a design decision to choose between a carousel and a slide show. One of the primary differences between any of the carousel solutions presented and a slide show is that none of the carousels offer either a pause (if they do have an auto-advance feature) nor do any offer thumbnail previews.

@Nicholas: Some tutorials make it so easy to implement carousel’s now-a-days. Customization is what’s always a pain. Customizing the one on The Designed’s home page was a little time consuming.
