All of these classes are configurable so that you can match the specific server-side implementation that you need (character sets, block sizes, number of iterations, etc).

1. Encryption
   • Triple DES - This encryption algorithm is a standard across platforms and is completely compatible with server-side implementations of the same algorhithm. This class also contains the code for prior versions of DES and has the ability to encrypt different data types, but the exposed encrypt() method does hex-based Triple DES out of the box, which is the most common use on the web.
   • XXTEA - The newest and most up to date TEA algorithm for fast and simple text encryption. This class requires no understanding of encryption concepts, you simply need a key and some text to encrypt or decrypt, and the class file does the rest.
   • MD5 - MD5 is the most commonly used algorhithm for encrypting passwords before sending them across the internet. Combine the password with a key to breate a hash before sending, and store only the hashed password in your database for comparison for maximum security.
   • Other algorithms will be added in future releases.
2. Compression
• gz text - this is the standard compression implemented by all the major browsers and server platforms, and can be used to reduce and obfuscate data sent between the client and server.
• RLE text - This is a simple run length encoding algorhithm, which can be used to reduce the size of blocks of text for transport and storage. Block size is variable so that it can be optimized for certain types of data. Sometimes with RLE algorhithms the compressed output is actually larger than the original data, so this class contains a "smart comparison" that ensures that the compressed data is smaller than the original, and uses the smaller of the two in the output.
• Other algorithms will be added in future releases.
3. Localization
   • Number formatting - You may not think about it very often, but not everyone uses the same characters as seperators in numbers. In the US, we use a comma as a thousands separator and a period as a decimal seperator, but in many countries they use commas as a decimal separator and spaces, periods, or even apostrophes as a thousand separator. If you want to show your users numbers in a format they can easily understand, this class will take any number, integer or floating point, and convert it to a locale formatted string. It will also take those strings and convert them back into numbers for you so that you can perform calculations on them.
• Currency formatting - In addition to the thousand and decimal separator differences between locales, this class also stores and makes available the proper currency codes (e.g. "USD" or US Dollars, "CAD" or Canadian Dollars, etc) and symbols (e.g. "$", "£", "€", "¥"), as well as storing information like the number of digits after the decimal, position of the currency symbol and positive and/or negative signs, etc, in supported currencies.
• Date formatting - How exactly do you know what a date like "04/01/05" means? In the US it means April 1st, 2005, but in other countries it might be read as January 4th, 2005, or even January 5th 2004. This class knows how to format an ambiguous date properly so that your customers always interpret them correctly. It will also convert date strings such as the one I mentioned above into a Flash Date object according to the specified locale, so that your users can quickly type dates in their native format and you can simply treat it as a date without having to think about the format.
• Collation - This is another one you may not think about very often, but in the standard ASCII sort used in Flash, the letter "Å" actually comes after the letter "Z", even though it really should come before the letter "A". What this means is that people whose language uses accented characters have to scroll to the bottom of a (supposedly) alphabetically ordered list in order to find a word that should actually be at the very top of the list. This feature uses the included quicksort method to sort arrays of data using the proper locale-specific collation order.
• Quicksort - The quicksort is simply a different sort function than the one that comes built into Flash. It is not necessarily a better sort function, but it happens to be slightly faster at sorting certain types of data, which happen to be the most common types of data that users need to sort (small and/or partially sorted lists of words). This function takes any array and sorts it using the specified compare function, just like the built in sort function. You can even tell the quicksort to do an ASCII sort, just like the built in sort, only using the internal ASCII compare function. You can also use the built in sort function, but pass the locale-specific compare function, causing the built in sort to properly collate locale-specific data.
