Tonfall is “an Actionscript framework to get you started in audio dsp programming within the Flashplayer”. It is “focussed on readability and simplicity than performance optimizations”
http://code.google.com/p/tonfall/
Its author is Andre Michelle, one of the creators of the Popforge library, and of the recently redesigned AudioTool online music studio service: http://burn-studios.audiotool.com/
Eaze Tween is a “smart, fast, chainable and compact Flash AS3 tweening library”.

This is a good resource for particle emitter libraries. They also supply good documentation, examples and a useful tutorial that covers the basics.

Last week I visited the Decode new media art exhibition at V&A Museum, London. There was one piece by Joshua Davis on display, and it was mentioned that it was built using the HYPE framework (by Joshua Davis and Branden Hall):
HYPE is a creative coding framework built on top of ActionScript 3. A major goal of HYPE is to allow newcomers to Flash and ActionScript to creatively play and express themselves while they are learning how to program.
From: http://hype.joshuadavis.com/
The first version came out in the end of October 2009, and version 1.1 was just released.

TUIO is “an open framework that defines a common protocol and API for tangible multitouch surfaces”. It is based in OSC (Open Sound Control), and used in Reactable-based solutions (http://www.reactable.com). The developers behind TUIO include Music Technology Group (University Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona) researchers but also external developers, as TUIO is an open framework. Some of these developers have implemented a TUIO/Flash library, allowing to better integrate Flash/AS3 with tangible multitouch surfaces (to allows to transmit OSC messages more efficiently).

Flare is an ActionScript library for creating visualizations that run in the Adobe Flash Player. From basic charts and graphs to complex interactive graphics, the toolkit supports data management, visual encoding, animation, and interaction techniques. Even better, flare features a modular design that lets developers create customized visualization techniques without having to reinvent the wheel.
Flare looks extremely useful for anyone who is interested in developing interactive visualizations (e.g. time series, stacked bar, pie charts, graph) for the Web that run in the Adobe Flash player.

Flash have some tools for manipulating 2D data in 3D space, but for real 3D, check this one.
Popforge sound library is bundled with many sound processing and manipulation possibilities. The library is developed by Andre Michelle and Joa Ebert.
Please note that Flash example files are under trunk menu. One needs to download them as well as the whole core lib package. Below are links to the files.
