5. Flare
Flare is a collection of ActionScript 3 classes for building a wide variety of interactive visualizations. For example, flare can be used to build basic charts, complex animations, network diagrams, treemaps, and more. Flare is written in the ActionScript 3 programming language and can be used to build visualizations that run on the web in the Adobe Flash Player. Flare applications can be built using the free Adobe Flex SDK or Adobe’s Flex Builder IDE. Flare is based on prefuse, a full-featured visualization toolkit written in Java. Flare is open source software licensed under the terms of the BSD license, and can be freely used for both commercial and non-commercial purposes.

6. di-as3
Developed for use with ActionScript 3, Flash 9 and Flex 2 projects it provides an inversion of control container for components that support dependency injection.Support for constructor and setter injection, with setter injection available to public variables, setter accessors, and methods.

7. AS3 Data Structures For Game Developers
AS3 Data Structures For Game Developers’ is a library containing data structures optimized for game development with Adobe Flash and Actionscript 3.

8. Pulse Particles System
It is a general purpose particle system for AS3 development.The pulse-particle system allows Flash developers to quickly and easily set up a wide range of particle effects. There are two ways of using the system, through an object orientated API that gives full control over the system, or through a simplified object syntax.

9. AS3 GIF Player Class
AS3GIF lets you play and encode animated GIF’s with ActionScript 3

10. Fisix Engine
The Fisix Engine is an Actionscript 3.0 physics engine built for game developers.

11. APE

15. ScaleBitmap : 9-slice bitmap class
The owner have just finished a simple class which allows you to resize dynamically any Bitmap (just like the MovieClip.scale9Grid feature).

16. XIFF
XIFF is an Open Source Flash library for instant messaging and presence clients using the XMPP (Jabber) protocol. XIFF includes an extension architecture that makes it easy to add functionality for additional protocol extensions, or even your own special-needs extensions. There are quite a few extensions already included in the library, giving it support for XML-RPC over XMPP (XEP-0009), Multi-user conferencing (XEP-0045), Service browsing (XEP-0030), and XHTML message support (XEP-0071).

17. FOAM
FOAM is primarily intended as a resource for developers interested in simulating physics. It has a carefully thought out OOP structure and modular design. A savvy developer should have no problem extending and repurposing FOAM to his own ends. The Foam datatype is in fact not a physics engine but an interface for simulating physics. It offers a simple means to create, control and run a simulation- it purposefully keeps the more nitty gritty, behind-the-scenes operations shielded from the casual developer. A physics engine is simply part of its composition.
