Man, this took a lot longer than I expected. I ended up re-writing much of the core structure from scratch last night. This is just a beta, I need some beta testing if you've got time. Please post bugs in the comments section.

Two new components: Thin Bevel has only one bevel on its edge as many people requested. Style Manager lets you visually choose style colors and apply them to one or more components without having to write any Actionscript.
The documentation is a textfile that describes the component methods. It should be easy enough to figure out the component color parameters. Here's something very cool: The new component, Style Manager, acts like an FStyleFormat object. You can choose the colors of the style manager, and add the instance names of other components in the first parameter, "Target Components". When you run the Flash movie, the Style Manager will automatically colorize all of the registered components.
For example, the "Target Components" parameter of the style manager in the demo contains the instance names of all the scrollbars and bevel components. When you run the movie, all of those components will have a blue tint, as specified in the Style Manager's color parameters.
This is just a beta... I'd like to get more testing done before moving on to documentation and MXP packaging.
