We just released a new version of CASA Lib AS3. This update includes many improvements, optimizations, new methods, and a few new classes. Two of my favorite classes are LibraryLoad and LibraryManager which make loading and managing external assets simple.

Resizing with RatioUtil

With the increasing frequency of full browser and full screen Flash sites, many require dynamic content scaling. RatioUtil makes it easy to scale items while maintaining their aspect ratio.
Using the Key class
Written by Aaron Clinger on January 27th, 2009
CASA Lib’s Key class creates an easy way to receive events when multiple keys are held/released (key combo) and when a sequence of keys are pressed (e.g. a word is typed).
It also returns the ability in ActionScript 3.0 to easily determine if a key is pressed/down. A feature we were used to in AS2.
