From the site:
This is a simple ActionScript 3 implementation of the class marching ants selection marquee you find in applications such as Photoshop.
The class is based off this ActionScript 2 example here; http://www.nocircleno.com/experiments/selection_ants_proof/index.html, but adds in many more methods and is entirely self contained. Drawing the bitmaps for the marquee internally in the class.
Features:
Either Fixed or user drawn marquee
Draggable or static fixed marque
Programatically changeable marquee colours
Programatically changeable marquee line thickness
Does not rely on library assets for marquee
