I'm having great fun at the moment developing some reusable, custom UI components for Flex 2. I'm building them as ActionScript classes; implementing the drawing API as well as the effects classes. Although the approach is different to Flash, the results are impressive, with most interactions and effects being achievable in Flex. The classes are much lighter-weight than Flash equivalents, as internal tweening classes have been favoured over third-party ones.

I hope to be able to deploy some of these 'illustrative' components over the coming months, so keep an eye out!
