As3CoreLib .92 Posted
I have just posted a new build and zip file of the ActionScript 3 CoreLib Library (as3corelib). This in an open source library that contains a number of classes and utilities for working with ActionScript 3.
This is release .92 and includes a number of bug and performance fixes, as well as some new functionality.
One thing to note is that we have added support for some AIR specific classes. Anything in the com.adobe.air package will only run within Adobe AIR. I am looking to do the same for Flex classes, which would make it much easier to determine which classes work where. The majority of the classes do not require Flex or AIR.
You can download the new build, which includes the SWC, source and api docs from the project page.
If you find any issues, please make sure to log them on the issues page. If you would like to contribute to the project, we are always looking for people to help out.
sweet :)

The JSON Library is really awesome. even though flex has built in e4x, i tend to use JSON because of its simplicity to parse and debug.
it would be really cool if the as3corelib would be included as a native package in flex4.
things such as Md5, and SHA1 hashes are also cool. However for passing passwords and usernames it would be cool if as3corelib also had the Assymettric RSA Algorithms (Public Key, Private Key). this would make flex/flash much safer.
my 2 cents..

Hi,
First thing, thanks !
Second : I can’t find online documentation. Is it only on the package ?

I am new to Air and I am creating an air/javascript/html app using Aptana. I see how to include a SWF file, but how do I use the As3CoreLib SWC file or use the a .AS file in a javascript app.
thanks..Paul

The SWC is just a zip file. Unzip it, and you will find a library.swf that contains the libraries.
Hope that helps…

Hi Mike, I am just an amateur and I totally bow to your skills, but why is there lot of errors and warnings when I open it in FDT? Typos, unused imports etc :). Also maybe you can help me, why are some of the MX packages unrecognised (mx.rpc, mx.formatters …)? Do they come with Flex or where are they from? Thanks.

Not sure about the FDT errors.
As far as the mx stuff. A couple of the libraries use Flex classes, and require the Flex framework.
I am looking at restructuring the packages to make it clear which ones require Flex.
Sorry about the hassle…

Mike,
Is there an example about loading blip.tv videos with flex. I was trying to work the one that Paul Rangel from Adobe Platform put on the flex video but could not make it to work? Could you help?
