Today, it's our pleasure to introduce Astra, a new open source library from Yahoo!'s Flash Platform team. 
In the spirit of our enormously popular YUI library, Astra is BSD licensed with full source for easy incorporation into your commercial applications. Astra is high-quality ActionScript 3 code with both examples and documentation provided. While this first release of Astra contains only a small number of components, the Flash team at Yahoo! is committed to expanding the number of components and energizing developers around Flash application development. Download Astra from our Flash developer center and then watch some screencasts to get started (charts - Quicktime or Windows Media) (autocomplete and tabbar - Quicktime or Windows Media)

Isn't "Astra" also Trillian's naming for their next IM client that they plan on releasing? http://www.trillianastra.com/

This is awesome guys. Well done on implementing a tree component and menu. A much needed feature in flash 9 cs3. Great!!!!! Keep up the other components as well as we need ones like accordion, advanced charting features, transitions engine, etc.
Great job so far!!!!!!
Hebrew support too? :)
