Simple AS3
Josh Tynjala took Colin Moock Charges Against AS3 and turned it into a solution called SimpleAS3. I know alot of flash designers and old school developers will love this approach because it helps them to get into AS3 without worrying to much about all the headaches of learning the new structure.
I gotta say though I am on the fence with this one. Is this framework getting developers into a bad habits? Shouldn't you just learn how to do things the right way instead of just reverting to older practices? I guess it's like the argument with CSS developers snapping that tables are not proper use of HTML for layout. Some developers still use it.
In any regard it's still an interesting solution to the problem and I am sure will get adopted by a lot of people.
Check it.

I'm kinda split on this too. On the one hand, there are a lot of people who don't want to learn full-on development. I work with a bunch of designers who don't necessarily want to learn to add event listeners, they just want to make a button that clicks and does a thing.
But on the other hand, getURL() was so simple to use, why lose that paradigm in favor of something more complicated where something complex isn't needed.
The one thing that bugs me about AS3 is the lack of arguments to event listeners. ugh.
