FlashApe

Well, add CASA to the recent explosion of flash frameworks. This one actually seems really cool. The project’s homepage describes the framework as “an agile high-level framework for ActionScript 2.0. It is designed to ease the chore of common and complex tasks without getting in the way.”, and browsing through the documentation, it really does seem to do just that. It doesn’t force you to follow someone else’s programming methodology, it just gives you the tools to go about programming your site your own way…almost more of a library than a framework.

Speaking of framework documentation, one of the things that has really tempered my excitement about all these new frameworks is the complete lack of example usage and/or documentation. Normally, if I go to check out a new framework and all i see for the documentation all I see is a soem auto-generated class documentation, I am more inclined to just skip it. That’s where I have to give it to CASA though, that’s all they have and everything is so easy to pick up you don’t really need anything more than that.
