Hmm,
We bought AS2Doc a year ago, its good, probably still the best around(due to
lack of any real competition) but...
the bad news is AS2Doc development was abandoned in March and now there is
no support whatsoever or bug fixes or new releases coming ever...

There are a number of bugs, like some Interface classes get skipped, the
PanelActions generate junk at times, and some essential features missing
like no way to document events and of course once AS3 is here there wil be
no way forward.

It still might be worth buying but anyone doing so needs to do it with there
eyes wide open.

I just bought AS2DOC and it's awesome at creating Flash documentation 
files.  I just ran it on a couple of packages I had recently written 
with JavaDoc style commenting and in a matter of seconds it created 
detailed help docs and an mxi file for me.  I packaged the mxi file into 
an mxp and installed it into Flash.  After looking through the docs I 
see I left some comments out so I'm going to use it as a reference to 
where to go back to my classes and add more information to fill out the 
pages more.

Pricey but great product.  Highly recommended.  Unfortunatley their free 
trial version does not do Flash help files.
