Thank for the reply Paul.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't there already a number of "ActionScript classes" linked to from OSFlash? ( see below)

I actually don't need a mailing list or svn hosting. I just thought a mention and a link would be nice :]
  • ARP - Pattern-based RIA framework (ActionScript 2) for Flash and Flex.
  • AsUnit - Unit testing framework for ActionScript 2 (works with Flash, Flex, MTASC, FAME, etc.)
  • ActionStep - Open source component framework project based on NextStep/OpenStep/GNUStep/Cocoa “Application Kit”
  • As2lib - Open source framework (ActionScript 2) that offers support for event handling, error handling, logging, overloading, reflections, data holders, iterators, unit testing, mock objects, profiling, local connections and file loading (is Flash, Flex, MTASC, FAME, ... compatible)
  • ASAP framework - A Flash ActionScript 2.0 RIA library for the development of maintainable, multi-movie, event based interactive applications. Compatible with both MTASC and MMC.
  • EnFlash - ActionScript Application Framework
  • XIFF - API for the XMPP Instant Messaging protocol
  • Cairngorm - Pattern-based RIA framework (ActionScript 2) for Flex and Flash.
  • FlexUnit - Unit testing framework for ActionScript 2.0 (Flex and Flash)
  • FlashAnt - FlashAnt includes an Apache Ant task for integrating Flash into the build process of Rich Internet Applications.
  • DENG - DENG is a Flash 6 component written in ActionScript 1 that renders subsets of XHTML, XForms, SVG, XFrames with CSS
  • AsWing - AsWing is an ActionScript UI Framework, its usage is similar to Swing.
  • AnimationPackage - helps you to create powerful and maintainable animations in an efficient and easy way.
  • Movieclip Tweening Prototypes - ActionScript 2 (and 1) api for tweening with lots of easing equations.
  • Fuse - Animation packaged which builds on the functionality of MovieClip Tweening Prototypes
  • ASCrypt - Cryptography classes for Actionscript 2
  • wisASLibrary - An ActionScript 2 library with lots of animation math.
  • gamepackage - Open source ActionScript 2 framework for gamedevelopment(mode7, raycasting, tile2d, pathfinder,...), an audiopackage and lots of useful util and math classes
  • SMX components set - A component library for Flash MX 2004, soon to be released...
  • Flash _javascript_ Integration Kit - Allows you to call _javascript_ functions from ActionScript, and vice versa. All major data types can be passed between the two environments, and it works across browsers and platforms.
  • XPath4AS2 - An XPath library for ActionScript from XFactorStudio.
  • FP XHTML Render - XHTML parser and render component for Macromedia Flash 2004 (ActionScript 2.0).
  • Flade - a free library for simulating 2D physics in Flash.

What a bit of ironic timing.

Several months ago I wrote an AS XML-RPC client that I released as
open source. Since I just have the downloads and documentation on my
own site, it's not really as open for collaboration as I would like.

A couple of days ago I was thinking "I've been following the OS Flash
site/list since it started. I ought to send an email to the OS Flash
list and find out if this would be an appropriate project to host on
OSFlash".

So I guess I'm asking. Most of the OSFlash projects are developer
tools, e.g. MTASC, SWFMill. Obviously there are some that are more
along the lines of ActionScript code like ActionStep and ARP -- but
those seem "bigger" in my mind than just an XML-RPC client. (Maybe the
project seems less significant to me because I wrote it myself--but
all those other projects are written by you mythical Flash wizards =)

So anyway, do you think that a set of ActionScript classes that come
together to provide some common functionality (in this case, an
XML-RPC client) is something that is appropriate be hosted on the
OSFlash site? I think at this point having its own mailing list might
be overkill, but having a SVN repository would be nice, I guess.

Any thoughts?

Oh, by the way, you can see the current home of the project at this page:

And also, I don't mean to detract from Matt's request at all.  This
really is something I've been thinking of asking about for a while,
and I just hadn't gotten around to asking it yet.

Hmm, Interesting. I'm using a xml backend now, completely through xml comm. I find it much easier to use and implement than remoting solutions etc.

I'll go check it out :) If i have a hunch i can contribute someting usefull, i'll let you know.

Subject: [osflash] XMLRPC Client


Hello List,

A couple years ago I took over an open-source XMLRPC client for Flash and ported it to AS2. It's a nice tool but in the last years I've (hopefully) learned more and developed better coding habits - so I am going to release a new version soon. I thought it would be nice to have it on the OSFlash project list :)

You can check out the project here and let me know what you think:



Thanks,
Matt
