as3Query is an ActionScript3.0 port of John Resig's exellent JavaScript library jQuery 1.2.1.
This port is released under the MIT and GPL licenses(as is the original jQuery).
Documentation is NOT available. Please refer to the original jQuery Documentation. Most features are ported except for Ajax methods.

Full source code for the engine and examples is hosted on a Subversion(SVN) server.

Demos
25 Boxes
This demo shows how to create instances and monitor events.
25 Boxes + Tweener
jQuery animation may be poor for Flash creators. So, I added 'addTween' method to cooperate with 'Tweener' (a famous AS3 animation library).
CSS Selector Demo
You can test CSS Selector-based DisplayObject traversal. For example, CSS "E" matches all of the instances of class E.
The demo uses an XML to create and place shapes. See the XML object in the source code. When as3Query receives the XML, it creates instances and set attributes according to the XML. It looks like an HTML (or a MXML), doesn't it?
Comments
It would be excellent if you could also add in the AJAX stuff. I hate the way Flash forces you to get external data. jQuery makes it so much simpler.
Regardless, this is a great idea, and I see lots of people implementing your port. Well done!
Awesome stuff Nitoyon, I get the feeling this is just the tip of the iceburg.
thanks!
Great work!! Like Ty says, this really feels like the tip of the iceberg...
This is crazy man!
Awesome! Now Flash will be fun again!
Oh shnap.
Sooo cool, now if someone could just port directx,
well done, great job
Ant
Great!!!
Nicely done!
I have an implementation of $.ajax for OpenLaszlo (minus ajax events), at http://osteele.com/sources/openlaszlo/lzosutils/src/ajax.js. You're welcome to adapt that for use with as3Query. As it stands, the functions are named 'ajax' and 'ajax.get', etc., and it's written in JS1.5 instead of AS3 (top-level functions instead of a class and methods), but it should be pretty trivial to port.
It's got an option to use the browser ajax (to pick up cookies from the HTML wrapper's domain when this is different), but you probably want to ignore that.
This is great. Thanks for your hard work. Can't wait to play around with it.
