Flame is an ActionScript library that provides a number of useful UI controls, collections, cryptographic services, and utilities to work with the Flex SDK.
The API is heavily inspired by .NET Framework.

The code is released under the Apache License, Version 2.0.
Features
Collections
Provides wrapper classes that expose a Vector as a collection that can be accessed and manipulated using the methods and properties of the ICollectionView or IList interfaces.
Cryptographic services
Provides cryptographic services including support for National Security Agency (NSA) Suite B algorithms, secure encoding and decoding of data, as well as hashing and random number generation. All algorithms has been tested for the compatibility with .NET Framework and JDK (JCE).
- Hash algorithms: MD5, RIPEMD-160, SHA-1, SHA-2 (SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512)
- Keyed-hash algorithms: HMAC
- Symmetric algorithms: AES, Rijndael, RC4
- Asymmetric algorithms: RSA (with key blinding, OAEP, PKCS #1, PSS), Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH), Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA)
- Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) encoding and decoding
Numerics
Provides classes to represent arbitrarily large signed integers (BigInteger) and complex numbers.
UI controls
Provides both Spark and MX controls for single and multi-file uploading, checkbox grouping, collapsible panel, advanced tab bar, flow layout, bindable validators, and a few small extensions to several controls of the Flex SDK.
Utilities
Provides a few utility classes to work with Array, Vector, ByteArray, Date, and String types as well as methods for data conversion.
Build
The library can be compiled using Ant:
ant -f <Path to the project>/build.xml -Dbasedir=<Path to the project>
Note that it is required to define an environment variable FLEX_HOME pointing to the Flex SDK directory.
Downloads
The binaries and documentation are available in the Releases section.
