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

Question

Hello,

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 Sprite in ActionScript makes it impossible to Google etc.

Many thanks, Ross
