Fosfr is now out of alpha and in beta, documentation is underway and will be followed by an extensive quickstart PDF. More info coming soon.
Announcing Fosfr – AS3 open source framework
Coming soon to google code, a complete framework for AS3 development, from single SWF files to full sites with master and sub sections. Fosfr handles debugging, tracking, setting up site navigation, loading and unloading sub pages, automatic preloading (via Prequel), SWFAddress handling, simple access to Flashvars, query string params, and cookies, and does it all from implementations as simple as two lines of code per document class. Comes with a complete set of base classes for simple access to all of the methods and features of Fosfr right at Document class level, and optionally can run from a single configuration xml file for ease of access to site parameters without the need to recompile. All this, and a total weight of less than 25kb. Currently in alpha, details and full documentation are still forthcoming, however a beta release should be available next week.
