Dive into the Framework source. IMO that's the best thing to study. Figure out how Adobe made all the components in the Framework. Pick something that you don't like about one of the framework components and try to change it. Subclass the framework class you want to alter and hack away.
If you want some fun things to figure out try understanding how the scrolling classes work (ListBase, DataGrid, etc), that should occupy you for a while :) An approach I took was listen for what kinds of components people are asking for on flexcoders or on their blogs and try to make them. That's how nearly all my components in flexlib started.
