The Flex 2 framework provides a large assortment of components to handle the majority of your UI (user interface) needs. Taking advantage of these components is the quickest way to build a fully functional application, however, there are many times where you might find yourself in need of a component that does not exist. Fortunately, the Flex SDK offers plenty of extensibility for building custom UI components that can plug seamlessly into the existing framework.
