While not trying to "pimp" my own stuff I'd like to add
http://drumbeatinsight.com to the list. It is a small set of components
that covers what I think were missing most from the V2 components. They
work with all the V2 components, extend them and fixes what I considered
were the main problems with them. If you want, check them out. They are
as up to date as one month ago, with version 3, and you can purchase the
source code for them if you need it.

The XP Components documentation is mostly autogenerated (from code) with
AS2DOC and while it describes the classes' methods and properties fairly
well, IT HAS VIRTUALLY NO CODE EXAMPLES! That annoys heck out of me; just
*one* simple this-is-how-you-instantiate-XP-Component-from-custom-class
example would have made my day (or, two weeks, rather). Instead all examples
use their xp.system.Application.Run() mehtod. Perhaps this means that's the
only way to use them, but why?
They're in Hong Kong, I think.

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Good component sets? (was: Re: XP Components
gonebad)
I just posted a similar question, look for the thread with subject line
"Best component set for Flash 8 / MTASC development?"
Quickly, tho, I'm feeling the same way:
There seems to be a lack of good component
sets these days.
The XP components look very comprehensive,
and have good keyboard control. But they don't
seem to be under active development.
The lead developer has responded to my initial questions,
but seems to be in a far east timezone so responses
take full day to get. The documenation is detailed,
but there is so much stuff in the XP components
that the documenation would have to be massive
to cover it all. I haven't spent too much time with them,
but haven't been able to get a lot done in the time
I've spent.
There are a couple of open source projects under
development, but are in either alpha or beta state.
Ghostwire has poor keyboard control.

Ghostwire: Maybe the best, but done in old-style AS1
mCom: Pretty good, but a couple showstopper bugs, little to no support from
developer. poor documentation.
XP: see previous message
MM v2: bloated, bugs
Flex 2: requires flash 9
What am I missing here? Are there any other full component sets I don't know
about?
