In response to Per Olsens comment about how the Charting components and AdvancedDataGrid is bound to the license of the Flex builder IDE, I actually don’t mind it to much! Just for clarification, I’ve never used the Design view to develop my application, so in all honesty I don’t really need to use flex builder 3 to develop with. I just do because its a pretty awesome IDE. As for the components, I’m quite happy to pay for them (OK my business pays for them) because at the end of the day, I do understand that adobe is a business, and it has to make money some how. They are a bargain for the price, plus you get to look at all the neat source code underneath, and marvel at how well written they are.
