So the other day i was trying to build the AsWing library with the Flex SDK. Sadly, i failed miserably. I didn't even know where to start. How do you feed all the files into the compiler? What command line switches to use? So after reading basically every piece of documentation that Adobe has to [...]

In that case i want to be able to pop up a messagebox and ask the user if he wants to retry, ignore or abort.

It enables you to display simple message boxes in AsWing based ActionScript applications.
The class was modeled after the Windows API function MessageBox().
The repository can be accessed through http://svn.aswing.org/aswingkit
