Read and write excel files in Flex.
From the site:
Some time ago I was working on a little project for which I wanted to read and write Excel files in Flex. I Googled hither and yon but sadly I could only find a sample someone tossed out there sans code. So, I put together a little package to read and write Excel files. So far it supports reading text, numbers, formulas, and dates from Excel version 2.x-2003 and writing text, numbers, and dates. Formulas also update to reflect changes in cells they reference.
The API is intended to be straightforward and easy to use. There are some samples to play with and the obligatory ASdocs.

Scale9Mask
From the site:
I ran into another quirk with Flash today. I couldn’t get Flash to apply Scale9Grid correctly on sprites/movieclips that were being used as Masks. After searching for help it seems as though the two features are not compatible (please correct me if I am wrong). Therefore, I threw a class together this afternoon that creates a Rectangle with rounded corners that automatically scales according to the scale9Grid rules. The class allows you to use the rounded rectangle as a mask without having the corners distort when it scales.

NpContextMenu
From the site:
The NpContextMenu Class is a fairly simple ActionScript 3 class for creating and interacting with Contextual Menus.
The class simply redispatches the ContextMenuEvent.MENU_ITEM_SELECT event to any parties interested in responding to menu events outside of the actual class. This allows for a little more flexibility with how events are handled and how the menu itself is set up. By using this approach the menu can be a a little more dynamic.

FlashVarsUtil
Util class to access FlashVars in Flex. From the site:
…I would share a little Util class I wrote a while back to make your lives easier. It uses the [Mixin] tag to make sure variables are available before the application creation is complete.

CronJob
From the site:
I wrote a cronjob class in actionscript 3 during my flight back to Lima from San Francisco. This could help you manage repetitive or single tasks in the future using a cron task syntax.

InteractivePNG
From the site:
Like magic, transparent parts of a PNG in your MovieClip are ignored during mouse interactions. Check it out!
Normally the clear areas of a PNG are treated as solid, which can be especially frustrating when dealing with a lot of images that overlap each other because they tend to block mouse interactions on the clips below them.
This utility fixes that so that mouse events don’t occur until you bump against a solid pixel, or a pixel of any transparency value besides totally clear. InteractivePNG lets you set an alphaTolerance level to determine what transparency level will register as a hit.

AS3 AssetLoader Class – One way to load everything
In Actionscript 3, there are many different ways to load external assets from the Internet. Unfortunately, this can become tiresome to find different ways to load each one in it’s own individual way. With this problem in mind, I have created the AssetLoader class.
Description
The asset loader class let’s you use the same method to load sound, video, pictures, swf’s, XML and CSS. The goal for this project is to make loading external assets as simple and clean as possible and give the user all the control they could every possibly need. And even better yet, this class is licensed with the M.I.T. license, so you can do whatever you want with it! Sweet isn’t it.
