Are there any good collections of libraries for Flash similar to CFLib.org
for Coldfusion?

The reason I ask is that over the last few projects that I have worked on I
have noticed a few missing pieces from actionscript.

eg:
Regular Expressions
Date/Time Parsing
Import PNG/GIF etc
and I'm sure there is a lot more.

When I last investigated this I came across someones explanation that these
are not implemented in order to keep the size of the swf plugin down -
which is a reasonable thing.

However - for applications that required this functionality if we could
compile it in then it would be very useful - and for apps that don't use it
there is no extra bandwidth for your movie.

I realise that stuff like PNG import might be a big ask - but there are
definitely a lot of libraries that could be added to Flash/Actionscript
which would make it a lot simpler.

How much of this is possible or am I just dreaming?
