HIVE is a:
- state-based MVC framework for AS3.
- collective of creative people who design and develop primarily using Adobe's Flash/Flex

By Integrating other open source projects like Tweener and Papervision3D, Hive offers a robust and reliable mechanism for manipulating 2D and 3D content allowing the developer to focus on architecture and flow.
