Slide is an application framework for projects built in Flex 2 or 3.
Key features:

- Increases the proportion of your codebase that is easily testable
- Makes dependencies transparent (appropriate abstraction and decoupling, not unhelpful indirection)
- Plays to Flex's strengths, reducing the quantity of code
- Encourages convention, but does not depend on it
