Any "Image Sprite" Class/Libraries/Helpers for Flash AS3?

Is there AS3 classes/libaries for Flash that, in the traditional meaning of 'Sprite', render only a certain part of one image?

Short of making my own, I imagine some kind of convience method has been done before. But 'Sprite' meaning 开发者_运维技巧Sprite in ActionScript makes it impossible to Google etc.

Many thanks, Ross

See scrollRect property, that should do the trick

there was the animatedbitmap class by hexagon star, while the website looks like it's gone, drawlogic still has some info on it + the download link
