Animation Packages
I found these 2 animation packages awhile ago.
http://laco.wz.cz/tween/
http://www.alex-uhlmann.de/flash/animationpackage/
They both acheive more or less the same things they allow to move things around by using the robert penner easing equation through some customised classes. However the Lazo package has one very interesting aspect. You can customise the easing equations and add many segement to the easing curve as well as create your own one. Check out the tool: http://laco.wz.cz/tween/customEasingDemo.php

AsUnit
I’ve been looking at AsUnit for a couple of days. I am slowly starting to get my head around it… Basically it’s a flash framework that allows to set tests as you develop your application. One of the great advantages of using that framework is that it comes with an output window which can also be used when your movie is in the browser. So thanks to this function Sys.println() which part of the framework you can still test stuff while the movie is online.
Her’es a couple of more links that explane how to use the frame work (one is in french)
