Wilberforce is a Flash ActionScript utility library, consisting of:

• AS2 Classes (Wilberforce)
• AS3 classes (Derek - to be added)
• JSAPI commands (To support the utility classes)

Whats it for?

As a utility library it provides a collection of implementations for a variety of systems and actions, allowing for a 'pick and choose' approach to use. It aims to cover a wide range of areas including:

• Geometry
• Text layout
• 'Canvas' implementations
• Drawing
• Simulation
• Animation
• Data providers
• Simple, lightweight implementations of UI components

It builds upon the excellent Pixlib open-source framework (its only dependency) for event handling, commands and more.
