“SWFObject is a small Javascript file used for embedding Adobe Flash content. The script can detect the Flash plug-in in all major web browsers (on Mac and PC) and is designed to make embedding Flash movies as easy as possible. It is also very search engine friendly, degrades gracefully, can be used in valid HTML and XHTML 1.0 documents*, and is forward compatible, so it should work for years to come.” Get it HERE
Really useful class for loading in multiply images one after another, easy and effective to use. “The QueueLoader Class is a “wrapper” for the MovieClipLoader Class which makes managing the loading of multiple files more convenient. You can add files to a loading queue, remove items from the queue, pause and resume loading etc., and there are many events that allow you to exactly monitor the loading process. By using more than one instance of the QueueLoader you can realize complex loading scenarios where you have for example one QueueLoader for the current loading process and another one that preloads items in the background. You can give one queue the priority by pausing the other one and so on…” http://www.betriebsraum.de/blog/downloads/

SWFAddress is a small script that sits on top of SWFObject and provides deep linking for Flash websites and applications. In other words it enables the Back, Forward and Reload buttons of the browser and creates unique URLs with page titles that can be sent over email or IM. SWFAddress uses the ExternalInterface functionality introduced in Flash Player 8 and comes with a technique that enables search engine indexing for deep Flash links. http://www.asual.com/swfaddress/
Quite possibly the most useful class when it comes to prototyping, and of course actionscript tweening; every actionscripter / web designer should have this one - http://www.mosessupposes.com/Fuse/
Some useful actionscript classes to be found here http://www.actionscriptclasses.com/ My favourite is the JukeBox - takes some of the headache out of making dynamic MP3 players in AS2.0
