What is opensocial-actionscript-client api
Opensocial-actionscript-client is an OpenSocial library for Actionscript/Flex/Flash. This is an opensource library. It allows Actionscript/Flex/Flash client to access OpenSocial API.

A Little More Detail About the Architecture
The library uses Opensocial Javascript API, not REST API. It was a careful and necessary decision to go for Javascript API for the following reasons:
1. Some containers have a closed-off crossdomain.xml (which means Flash cannot connect to their server)
2. Not all containers support REST API yet
These are restrictions that cannot be overcome, unless the containers (the social networks sites) change their policies.

Current OpenSocial Version
Currently, the API uses OpenSocial 0.8, the latest version at the moment.

Contribution/Feedback
You are welcome to contribute or add to the library. It is opensource! :)
