What are some useful plug-ins, packages or source-code for ActionScript?

Please include ActionScript version, name, link and description.

  • Very handy lib. I've used it successfully in a couple of projects that loaded up a large number of assets. Pretty easy to tweak and extend too, which is nice. Not hard at all to hook it up to a progress bar for the bulk load. – Alex Jillard Nov 24 '09 at 15:10
  • Thanks Alex, always nice to get some positive feedback! – Arthur Debert Nov 24 '09 at 18:30
  • I second this. Excellent lib, a must for any non-trivial RIA. – jpop Feb 25 '10 at 13:48

Did someone already mentioned Starling?

I just discovered this a couple of days ago, so check by yourselves and if someone knows a little about it, I will be glad to know your opinion.

Best regards. Nicolas.
