ActionScript Foundry

The ServeBox ActionScript Foundry (AS Foundry) is an ActionScript 3 / Java framework designed for Flex application development.

Its design is based on several design patterns, and includes tools built to resolve some of the recurrent Flex development issues: model-view data synchronization, screen-browsing, access-control lists, localization and label externalization, etc.

It is available as an open-source project under the Apache 2.0 license, so you are free to use it for commercial and/or open-source projects.

The framework is composed of five libraries:

• Commons: Basic types and tools.
• Foundry: Provides the micro-architecture classes.
• AirFoundry: Extends the micro-architecture so it can be used in Adobe AIR.
• Toolbox: High-level tools (browsing, ACL, dataprovider items search, etc).
• Foundry-Java-Commons: Java helper classes, built to structure and accelerate (Flex) Client / (FDS-LCDS-BlazeDS) Server development.
