The SuperPanel is an excellent component created by Wietse Veenstra. The styling is all hard-coded, and I need to be able to change this. It also hard-codes the event that is triggered on close, and I wanted to be able to control this. So I added the appropriate meta-tags and properties to enable these options. Here is the result, link to the source is at the bottom:

Hey,I am so interested about that you had ever used the ‘TransformTool’ library in your Flex project. But there is little examples showing how to use it in flex, Would you please share some example about how to use ‘TransformTool’ in Flex? I have tried as such a way:
but it failed at line
canvas.addChild(defaultTool);
Can you give any hints? Thanks.
Like most pure AS3 display classes, the TransformTool needs to be added to a UIComponent wrapper to function properly in Flex.
Here's the full list of what he has on Google Code.
The CoreLib is essential, but he's been busy writing useful libraries for AIR. I've used the notification library, which has some great features and makes notifications on the desktop sensible. The exchange library is interesting, for sure. They are all worth checking out.
There are also a number of interesting example applications using AIR, including a motion detection application, an Amazon S3 interface, a screen saver, and an MS Exchange calendar.
Mims Wright has released an open-source animation library for Actionscript 3. This has a lot of promise. From the author:
KitchenSync was designed for developers who want a smart way to handle animation or other time-based functionality with code. Written from the ground up in ActionScript 3.0, KitchenSync relies on smart object-oriented architecture rather than complicated shorthand. It includes a number of features and shortcuts, such as the clone() method, that save effort for developers. KitchenSync makes extensive use of events and informative runtime errors and is quite flexible when it comes to extending the functionality.
This philosophy makes me think that KitchenSync will fit in nicely with pureMVC.
