CASA Blog: Finally an AS3 Version!

After a lot of work we’re happy to announce the first public release of CASA Lib for ActionScript 3.0. CASA Lib AS3 has already been battle tested on numerous high profile AS3 sites and we think it’s ready for a public release.

CASA Lib for AS3 isn’t a direct port of the AS2 version. Adobe’s release of AS3 solved many of the problems that CASA Lib AS2 was trying to fix, but we still feel there is plenty of room for improvement.

Here are a few of our favorite things in CASA Lib AS3:

Standardized external load API
Easily remove listeners with IRemovableEventDispatcher
destroy methods make garbage collection easy
Large group of utility classes for common manipulations

We will be elaborating further the power of CASA Lib in future blog posts.

As with any new release there will be bugs that emerge, but with your help we promise to release updates often to keep CASA Lib as stable as possible.

you are awesome

it is possible if you’ll post any examples with source code?
well, actually I’m Flex Developer and want to see Flex examples! in ur showcase I can see ready sites and I can’t understand which elements are driven by CASA Lib and which aren’t..
Thanxx!!

Awesome! Just checked the abilities of this library. Thanks!

Thank you, I’ve been waiting for this for what seems like years (ever since I dropped doing AS2 development). Very much appreciated!

Thanks guys. I’m totally jazzed to check this out. Keep up the great work.

Awesome library! I have only one suggestion and that is to add a trim function to the string utils.

Hi Robert, CASA Lib actually does have trim functions. There was a small mistake in the HTML documentation that prevented the methods from appearing. Check out the updated documentation here: http://as3.casalib.org/docs/org_casalib_util_StringUtil.html#trim

Hi any tutorials or examples for beginers?

Hi flashmad, the documentation does contain examples for every class, but there aren’t a lot of tutorials besides what’s on the blog.
