I'm presently implementing buttons to switch between grabber and zoomselect modes within worldKit, for a contract job. 
I do like the demis toolbar, and it would be great to integrate for closely with WMS, through the GetCapabilities query.

I have been using the Flash IDE to compile worldKit, but do most all of the development in external actionscript files. emacs is my editor of choice.

There are open source tools for compiling actionscript into swf!! And I would consider this to be the top priority for the project. Adopting the open source compiler was the reason I spent the time on updating worldKit for Actionscript 2.0 (the OS compiler only handles AS 2.0). Unfortunately I haven't had time to look into the tools in detail, and perhaps I'm lazy because it's not a necessity for my development.

This really is an ideal ticket for contribution beyond myself -- it will take no coding, only adaptation to a new tool set, and will have great benefits for worldKit.
