VEGAS

VEGAS is an AS2, AS3 and SSAS OpenSource Framework

====== Description =======

You can use the same framework in ActionScript 1,2,3 and SSAS to deploy your RIAs.

With Vegas you can use 5 other libraries based on VEGAS : AndromedAS, PEGAS, ASGard, LunAS, CalistA.

This 5 libraries are in the SVN repository of VEGAS.

====== Description ======

# VEGAS (core library)

- AS3, SSAS and AS2 Framework.
- AS2 librairie is “MTASC compatible” !
- Ready to use EDEN.
- SSAS librairie based on Core2.
- ADT package in AS2, AS3 ans SSAS libraries (queue, map, collections, stack, bag, iterator, ... polymorphism with JAVA Collections)
- Events package : Event's model based on W3C Dom2 with bubbling, capturing etc + FrontController pattern.
- String tools : JSON, Eden serialization/deserialization, Lunh, wildcard, StringFormat...
- Tools : Serializer, Copier, ArrayUtil, etc..
- Logging model to use FireBug extension, SOS console, LuminicBox FlashInspector, XPanel... AS2 logging model use polymorphism with mx.logging package in AS3 framework.
- Pattern MVC : 3 implementations with a FrontController or IView, IModel and IController or IObservable/IObserver implementation.
- Pattern Visitor interfaces (IVisitor, IVisitable).
- Factory tools (DisplayObjectFactory, ContextMenuItemFactory...)

# AndromedAS

Project Page : http://code.google.com/p/andromed-as/

A library based on MVC tools to develop richmedia applications and creates the link between VEGAS and ASGard.

This library implement a full IOC package based on the Spring.net, AS3 Indigo framework and Eden the ECMAScript data exchange notation.

IOC Tutorial :
http://code.google.com/p/andromed-as/wiki/TutorialsAndromedA_IOC

# PEGAS an AS2 extension of VEGAS :

Project page : http://code.google.com/p/pegas/

- Color Manipulation.
- draw API tools (ArcPen, BezierPen, RectanglePen, Canvas....)
- Transitions package (Tween, ..)
- geom package with flash.geom polymorphism for FP7 & FP8 and other tool class (Vertex, Vector, Quaternion...)
- Maths tools (Prime, Factor, Range...)
- Process package (Sequencer & Action).
- UI package. (KeyValidator, DoubleClick...)

# ASGard an AS2 and SSAS extension (based on VEGAS and PEGAS libraries) :

In the AS2 version

- AS3 polymorphism.
- Display package (Bitmap, DisplayObject, DisplayLoader, FlashPaperLoader, VideoDisplay, ZoomDisplay...)
- Loader package (URLLoader, JSONLoader, EdenLoader, StyleSheetLoader...)
- Remoting package with no Macromedia Framework’s dependencies.
- Localization
- Configuration model.
- Text Package (StyleSheet, ...) like AS3 flash.text framework.
- Display tools and AS3 semi-polymorphism

In the SSAS version

- The same Remoting class like AS2 and AS3 libraries.
- asgard.server.Application class to creates your FMS application based on VEGAS.
- asgard.server.Gateway class to creates a Gateway based on the FrontController of Vegas (used AS2 Event in the client application and send this events with the NetConnection.call method directly in the server side FrontController.

# LunAS the library based on ASGard and VEGAS to create components. Use examples in AS2/bin/test/lunas to test this framework.

# CalistA

Page Project : http://code.google.com/p/calista/

CalistA is a little cryptography library written in Actionscript include in the VEGAS framework with SHA1, TEA, MD5, LZW, Base64 and Base8 algorithms.

# ASTr'O

ActionScript Template application framework based on VEGAS. This opensource library contains a skeletal to implement rich application with VEGAS and this extensions. For the moment this library is an experimental laboratory to implements a concrete example with VEGAS.

* Download the sources of this project in the Google Code page : http://code.google.com/p/astr/

# MarS The application library (only AS2)

This extension is an opensource helper library based on VEGAS and this extensions to create Rich Applications with all basic tools.

# AS2 buRRRn package based on VEGAS (Eden and ASTUce based on VEGAS to keep a MTASC compatibility).

- ASTUce for VEGAS AS2 is the library to launch the Unit Tests of your libraries.( Vegas unit test in progress...)

- eDEN for VEGAS is a ECMAScript data notation like JSON to serialize and deserialize datas.

Note : ES4a, core2, ASTUce and eden are the work of Zwetan (www.zwetan.com). Very thanks for this openSource libraries.

Note : I'm now contributor in this projects.
