As an example, I have run CSDoc against the popular TweenLite/TweenMax animation package developed by Jack Doyle at http://www.greensock.com.   You can download the resulting Flash extension here (MXP).

To generate this package, I followed these steps:

  1. Downloaded the library source
  2. Ran asdoc on the package with the “-keep-xml” flag (I highly recommend Grant Skinner’s ASDocr for this task) ***Use Flex SDK 3.4 or LOWER***
  3. Ran CSDoc on the resulting toplevel_classes.xml file
  4. Packaged the resulting files into an MXP using the Adobe Extension Manager

That’s it!  This should work on any open source AS3 library, provided you have the appropriate supporting libs available.

Please let me know if you find this extension useful or if you’d like to see packages made for any other popular libraries.
