I think fisix engine is an AS3 continuation of APE. I've used the flade library (which I think in turn is the precursor of APE) for some rigid body simulations before and it's pretty good (especially if you need to support <9 version players), documentation is non existent though, you need to look at the example code to infer usage.

From my research I have found two AS3 based physics engines, which one was already mentioned by you (APE). The other is the Fisix Engine. From my tests it is better structured and more complete. Check out: http://www.fisixengine.com/engine.asp It is free to use on non-commercial projects but the license for commercial projects is a bit steep. Because of that I may end up using APE cause of its LGPL and release what ever I add to it. Haven't decided yet. Hope this helps, Rob.
