O’Reilly CodeZoo

CodeZoo exists to help you find high-quality, freely available, reusable components, getting you past the repetitive parts of coding, and onto the rest and the best of your projects. It’s a fast-forward button for your compiler.

Of course, plenty of source code exists on the net already -- the open source movement has made it easy to find source for nearly any application you might want to build. Making use of all this code, though, can sometimes be as hard as writing it yourself. CodeZoo focuses solely on code that is pre-packaged for reuse, ready for you to take, set up, and get working with your code. The CodeZoo community, through component ratings, tips, download tracking, and more -- makes it easy to sort out the good code from the rest.

SWFmill - convert SWF from and to an XML-dialect

Is this an alternative to Flex? Hmmm, maybe one day.

SWFmill is a tool to process Shockwave Flash(TM) (SWF) files. It can convert SWF from and to an XML-dialect called "swfml", which is closely modeled after the SWF file format.

As a simple application of such functionality, swfmill can pack together a bunch of media files (currently only jpeg and other SWFs) into an SWF as "library objects" for your attachMovie() pleasure.
