AS3 Microsite Framework - Birdbase is stable and we're about to launch a production site with it, so that seems like a good point to go 1.0. But we need to write some docs and guides to really hit that. And maybe some tests.

BirdBase AS3 Microsite Framework

BirdBase is a versatile framework built atop RobotLegs and other libraries to provide a fairly comprehensive and straightforward way to build a Flash microsite.
