I can post some code when I get it together, but, it is code that just works, is COMPLETELY undocumented and at this time not easy to use without a demo. I didn't know any ActionScript 3 when I started. The code needs plenty of work. But, the swf files are manufactured in the browser with TG, minus the image editing...
Here is an HTML intro with links... I'll try and make it more useful later... http://samfeltus.com/site_index.html ActionScript 3, MXMLC compiler, the new Flash VM, Linux support and Flex are major upgrades. I expect the web is fixing to be bombarded with a new generation of Flash content. It's not a problem for TurboGears, cause it's trivial to output ActionScript instead of HTML... Loose coupling is a good thing, and allows for happy accidents... There are no unit tests... I just ran it in the browser until it quit crashing...
