Flex Components
Components are the building blocks of the Flex framework. With them you are able to prototype, build and deploy your applications in record time.
The Flex framework includes a robust set of components and containers right out of the box. With Flex 3, the Flex framework is open source. On top of the components that come with the Flex framework, there are a number of commercial components available, as well as community components available.
If you are interested in building out Flex components, join the Flex components email list.
You can also find a comprehensive list of Flex components at Flex Box, a directory for Flex components.
