Spring Actionscript

This extensions aims to bring IoC to ActionScript for use in Flex, AIR and even Flash applications.

The extension was previously known as the Prana framework - http://www.pranaframework.org. It contains an IoC container, based on that of Spring, a reflection API, extensions for the Cairngorm and PureMVC frameworks and several interesting utilities.

We are also working on experimental AOP and DDD implementations. By using this extension, developers can change the configuration of an application without the need to recompile the application. All that is needed are changes to the external xml definitions. The XML dialect is also based on that of Spring.
