I think the main factor on the components was more of a time factor to
meet with the CS3 release timing as opposed to just removing functionality.
Most new releases of a software don't remove functionality, but
deprecate it. Removing something like the tree component or web services
from flash 9 cs3 is a major mistake. It appears to me that to implement
it in actionscript 3.0 is a major undertaking -- the funny thing is that
most of the code is done in the flex framework.
Take the example of where some ads or placements that require web
services in flash require the movie to be under 100K.
This is impossible to do with flex because of just the sheer nature of
the download size.
If enough of us request it from adobe I'm sure it will get integrated.
It seems that it was more of a time factor decision than anything else.

Yes, Flex has AS3 versions of all of the components that Flash 8 had and
then some. That is the point.
The message is pretty clear: If you want a comprehensive, state of
the art
component set use Flex.
