Adding to the list of free Flash physics engines is Motor Physics. It’s based Box2D (an open-source 2d physics engine written in C++), and so shares some of the convoluted object creation code that the also relatively recent Box2DFlash is shackled with. APE is very easy to use and has been available for the longest, but has an unfortunate lack of rigid bodies (though these are coming), and some other performance problems.

So there you go! All the engines are impressive and major props go to the guys who have made them. Now even mathematical dunces like myself can make fun things with complicated physics!
