Think of it as YUI for Flash Folks

Just got word that the Flash folks here have released a BSD licensed library of developer tools called Astra that looks to be darn useful. It's the first step of a pretty rich environment they're working on. A few quick notes before you run off and get it:

  • Astra requires Flash CS3, meaning you either already have it, grab the 30 day trial, or plunk down $700.
  • The current version just has charts. That's not all they're going to offer. It's all about the baby steps for now.

There's more info over at the newly hatched YSWFBlog (which I'm fairly sure is not named after some Welsh river. Aye, there be the mighty Yswf which winds it's way past Yggkrwyyggn on the Wgllrrgh ).
