About Box2DFlash
Box2DFlash (aka Box2DAS3) is a port to AS3 of Box2D, an open source 2d physics engine by Erin Catto. It is mainly designed around rigid bodies and joints, but supports a host of other features, like raycasting, or continuous collision detection. You can use it to make games!
Currently we are nearing release 2.1, with an alpha release available, providing lots of API improvements and features, like the unlimited world size, one way collisions and a completely redone event system.
