Hi Luke,

Sorry it has taken me so long to reply -- I've been really busy (as 
usual, I guess!)

Not at all -- I like detailed responses :)

I've just announced on the ARP mailing list that we will officially be 
supporting AsUnit as the "unit testing framework of choice" for use with 
ARP. In ARP, we'll be including a custom template for class files (the 
ARP standard template) and a slightly modified one for the test class.

I don't see this scenario becoming an issue in ARP. However, I will make 
a note of it in the manual.

Well, ARP is currently the only pattern-based AS2 framework that 
supports both Flash and Flex (it is similar to i2's Flex-only Cairngorm 
framework) and thus I believe it makes a perfect companion project to 
AsUnit. We will definitely be trumpeting the virtues of AsUnit and we 
would be very interested in getting your feedback/thoughts/suggestions 
on ARP as well. We have a mailing list for ARP that you are more than 
welcome to join.

All the best,
Aral
