What is it?

BasecampAS3Lib is an Actionscript 3 wrapper library for the Basecamp REST API. Basecamp is a project management, collaboration and task solution built by 37signals. The library can be used by Flex, Flash applications built with Adobe AIR. At the moment there is still a problem with browser applications because the basic authentication isn't working in the browser.

Important

• The project has just started and development is ongoing.
• A beta version should be available soon
