AndromedAS

• AndromedA page project (Google Code)

A library based on MVC tools (for the moment) to develop richmedia applications and creates the link between VEGAS and ASGard.

This library implement a full IOC package based on the Spring.net, AS3 Indigo framework and Eden the ECMAScript data exchange notation.

PEGAS

• PEGAS page project (Google Code)

• Color Manipulation.
• draw API tools (ArcPen, BezierPen, RectanglePen, Canvas....)
• Transitions package (Tween, ..)
• geom package with flash.geom polymorphism for FP7 & FP8 and other tool class (Vertex, Vector2, Vector3, Quaternion...)
• Maths tools (Prime, Factor, Range...)
• Process package (Sequencer & Action).
• UI package. (KeyValidator, DoubleClick...)

ASGard

• ASGard page project (Google Code)

AS3 version :

• Date and time tools.
• Config pattern.

LunAS

This library based on ASGard and VEGAS to create components. It's not a component of framework but a framework to make components.

• LunAS page project (Google Code)

Use examples in AS2/bin/test/lunas to test this framework.

• bar package : Progressbar, scrollbar...
• button package
• container package : SimpleContainer, ListContainer, ScrollContainer, AutoScrollContainer, MatrixContainer...
• cell package : cells in list and datagrids
• list package : List components based on containers and with a polymophism with mx package of macromedia.
• shape package : all shape components.
• stepper package : basic implementation to create Stepper components.
• text package : Label, TextArea and TextInput abstract implementation.

CalistA

• CalistA page project (Google Code)

CalistA is a little cryptography library written in Actionscript include in the VEGAS framework with SHA1, TEA, MD5, LZW, Base64 and Base8 algorithms.

MarS

This extension is an opensource helper library based on VEGAS (only AS2 for the moment) and this extensions to create Rich Applications with all basic tools.

ASTr'O

ActionScript Template application framework based on VEGAS. This opensource library contains a skeletal to implement rich application with VEGAS and this extensions. For the moment this library is an experimental laboratory to implements a concrete example with VEGAS.
