API reference is available here: lbi useful as2 api

• Standard way of instantiating classes extending MovieClip: Attach.MovieClipClass()
• Tidied version of EventDispatcher and Delegate. For classes that need to dispatch events use EventDispatcher and MovieClipWithEvents, dispatching instances of the Event class
• Load and parse XML files into dynamic XMLModel instances using XMLLoader (dispatches "ready" or "error" when finished)
• Instead of trace(), use Log to trace errors
• Use the animation libraries animations and pauses - see Examples
