Resources for Flash and AS3 toolkits
This page lists various resources, i.e toolkits, libraries, reusable components, reusable code, for developers at all levels (Flash designers, CS3/ActionScript designers, ActionScript and AS/Flex programmers).
For other links see also:
See also Flash, ActionScript and Adobe Flex.
Reusable Flash and AS code
It's hard to separate websites that rather provide code for Flash designers with little AS knowledge and more advanced AS programmers. Sorry, you will have to find out yourself ...
There are several kinds of components that Flash designers should know about:
- *.swf - Flash (embedd as movie)
- *.fla - Flash source code (i.e. a template with drawings and code)
- *.as - Action Script source code (watch out for the version !!)
- *.swc - Compiled components (like the ones in the built-in components library).
- Code Repositories (mostly free)
- FlashTica Free Open Source Actionscript and Flash code files and resources directory. More specifically, this is a listing of websites that contain such resources.
- Flash Components at HotScripts.com
- Flash @ AdvanceScripts.com, the Script Hub. A lot of AS2-based stuff.
- Code Library @ actionscript.org. These are rather short code snippets that are useful for many programming problems.
- Adobe Exchange beta (various licences, also commercial).
- Flash-DB (older Flash, i.e. MX)
- Flashkit.com (Good large libary, but older Flash. Too many ads and difficult navigation and sorting.)
- ActionScript Library @ senocular.com
- Flash/Actionscript code repostory @ Kirupa.com
- Code Gallery @ onFlex.org. Specific to Flex and doesn't seem to be regularly updated anymore.
- Where you can add and manage your own snippets
- Snipplr.com, this allows you to keep an album with your own code... and access the code contributed by others. Search for "Flash" or "AS3".
- DZone Snippets. Public source code repository. Easily build up your personal collection of code snippets, categorize them with tags / keywords, and share them with the world.
Search for ActionScript.
- Commercial (I only want to have 5-6, the best at some point and not a long list ...)
- Oh my Flash
- Stock Flash Community | flashgarden
- Flashcomponents (some free)
- Flash Valley (some free)
- Flashloaded
Reusable AS components and libraries
These are exclusively for ActionScript programmers. I will update this in some near future (until XMas 2008) - Daniel K. Schneider 17:01, 28 September 2008 (UTC).
Tweening libraries
- Tweening
- Tweener Tweener (caurina.transitions.Tweener) is a Class used to create tweenings and other transitions via ActionScript code for projects built on the Flash platform.
- TweenLite. TweenLite (AS3) is a lightweight (2K) yet powerful tweening engine.
- AS3 TweenLite tweening engine (in this wiki)
- TweenFilterLite. TweenFilterLite extends the extremely lightweight (2k), powerful TweenLite "core" class, adding the ability to tween filters (like blurs, glows, drop shadows, bevels, etc.) as well as image effects like contrast, colorization, brightness, saturation, hue, and threshold (combined size: 5k).
Flex
- PHP bridges
- WebORB for PHP Server-side technology enabling connectivity between Flex and Flash Remoting clients and PHP applications.
3D ActionScript toolkits
- See Flash 3D, an entry that should list most of the tools and available AS3 libraries.
Physics engines
- APE (Actionscript Physics Engine). Free AS3 open source 2D physics engine for use in Flash and Flex, released under the MIT License
