"Would you provide some URLs if you don't mind? Also I'm curious when you rate something as 'excellent work' is that your response to the code of the library or to the interactions provided by the widgets? I ask because one of the things I'm looking for in my own application is more powerful UI widgets - e.g. fisheye menus, tables-within-tables, and other things that will let me compose more sophisticated interaction flows for my apps."
When I say excellent work, I mean both. Degrafa is an excellent library (code wise) which lets you skin components (including data visualisation components) in a variety of manners, including CSS. Some examples http://flashspeaksactionscript.com/5-custom-charts-using-degrafa/ http://www.insideria.com/2008/04/degrafa-data-part-2-the-sparkl.html and the library itself http://www.degrafa.org/ iLog Elixir is a paid-for library of components which can both prove as inspiration for your own components or be a solution (if you can use paid-for in your application) http://www.ilog.com/products/ilogelixir/ Flex gives you a lot of flexibility (ha ha) out of the box, and the means to quickly put together the components you need. There is a thriving community, much of whom are cross overs from the Flash component days who produce and release components, so hunting for what you need may be an option. Lastly, if you are thinking about the future, keep your eye on Flash Catalyst for changing the face of how Design and Code come together. If Adobe can deliver on the initial promise, it will be something special. Gk.
