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.

Change Log

• Added willTrigger check to dispatchEvent for slight speed optimization if there are no listeners.
• CasaSprite & CasaMovieClip’s stage getter will return StageReference’s default stage if the display objects have not been added to the display list.
• Minor improvements to the documentation and fixed misspellings.
• Added isEqual (with option to define precision) to NumberUtil.
• Updated Sequence to extend from Process.
• Updated AlignUtil so all methods have the option to snap to pixel.
• Added a safety measure in LoadUtil’s calculateBps.

• Fixed a bug in the documentation which prevented StringUtil trim functions from appearing in the HTML documentation.
