Many of these elements can be found in Flex Flash Builder, but that won’t do you much good if you are developing in the flash IDE.

I’m using these components in a few projects I’m working on at ACS. By using Astra I’m getting the not insignificant benefit of standing on the shoulders of some very smart and accomplished programmers. Yahoo Astra components have numerous features which accommodate most common situtations and the components can of course be extended to fit your sites specific needs.

There seems to be a lot going on with flash this past week. Adobe has posted Flash Builder 4 on labs along with Flash Catalyst aka Thermo. This is seems like a good time to check out labs.adobe.com

Joanna Lit from my team did a beautiful job on the design and provided proved a very
quick learner to boot as she assumed responsibility for about half of the AS3 coding.

In addition to art direction, I took a personal hand in developing the code for this site.
