ArcScripts is a place where users can share source code for Explorer tasks, and recently there have been a couple of interesting additions.

Edan Cain adds his Flip Book time series animator task, a handy task when you want flip through a sequential series of images or other time-related data. The visibility of each of the selected layers is toggled, and the task allows you to set an interval and looping options. This task was used during the Western Governors' Association presentation, which we highlighted in an earlier post, to show the growth of the human footprint in parts of the US over time.

Kenneth Gorton also updates his popular GPS Data Manager for ArcGIS Explorer, delivering Version 2.0 which adds track playback, NMEA handling, and other new features.
