Just wanted to give a shout to Jack Doyle, aka GreenSock. He’s done some excellent work on some very useful utilities, including:

• TextMetrics - Enhanced text field metrics.
• Transform Manager - give the user the ability to scale, rotate, and/or move any MovieClip on the stage
• TweenLite - A Lightweight (2k) Yet Powerful Tweening Engine, availble in AS2 and AS3 flavors. Also availablee is TweenFilterLite, for tweening filters.

There’s some other goodies there too. On top of doing good work, he’s been very responsive and helpful in the instances where I’ve contacted him directly asking for help.
