I am looking for quick launcher for fluxbox. Is any one using one.

Quick launcher? Perhaps you could elaborate a bit? Do you mean a panel, a tray, or simply an Alt+F2 program?
gmrun is a great "Run" dialog box that can be bound to Alt+F2 or any other key combo.

you mean something like mac quicksilver (or gnome's deskbar) or a panel?

Funny, I was just about to post a similar question (quicksilver/katapult equivalent) though I'd take one for XFCE too.

bbdock is in AUR now -- try it out. Remember to make a config file or specify arguments on the command line.

Could you give me an idea how to use it. When i run it exit with an error 'Unable to open resource configuraton file for reading'.

The format of the config file is
path/to/icon.png:command_to_run:title_grep
The last column is cool. When I for example write :*Firefox, the icon will not open a new instance of Firefox if it finds a window with a title that matches *Firefox. Instead, it will focus the matching window. If you write ::1, it will always open new instances.
This is from my university account:
~ $ cat ~/.bbdockrc
~/.icons/Aqua_Project/64x64/filesystems/folder_home.png:~/bin/rox::1
~/.icons/Aqua_Project/64x64/apps/terminal.png:~/bin/mrxvt::1
~/.icons/Aqua_Project/64x64/apps/browser.png:firefox:*Firefox
~/.icons/Aqua_Project/64x64/apps/kate.png:~/bin/nedit::1
~/.icons/Aqua_Project/64x64/apps/kedit.png:~/bin/geany:*Geany
~/.icons/Aqua_Project/64x64/apps/kmail.png:thunderbird:*Thunderbird
Also, for some reason, no support for xpm icons, only png.
To reread the configuration, restart the program :
$ killall bbdock && bbdock
