Creating ActionScript Components -- Version 1.5

Macromedia Flex lets you define custom components in ActionScript as part of your application. Using custom components, you can encapsulate your application logic as modules that you can reuse in a single application, or share across multiple applications.

You can also define custom ActionScript components to extend the Flex component library. For example, you can create a customized Button, Tree, or DataGrid component as an ActionScript component.

This chapter describes how to create custom components in ActionScript, and includes examples of creating components that extend the Flex component hierarchy.

You can also use Flash MX 2004 to make components, either by using on stage graphics, AS2 code, or a combination. They can then be accessed using Flex tags (in your own namespace) or by Script tags for programmatic access.

The Flex livedocs don't clearly indicate this, but you can find more information from this fairly comprehensive document:
