I think what we're *still* really lacking is a *lightweight* 
Flash-centric component framework. An open-source version of Grant's 
Glic (now MCOM) components, for example.

There are quite a few frameworks out there but I don't know of any open 
source ones that satisfy all of the following to the level that the MCOM 
components do:

* Lightweight
* Consistent, reliable Keyboard/Focus control
* Familiar API for Flash developers (the MCOM components are nearly 
polymorphic with the V2 components, for example.)

The task is actually much easier now with AS3 and the display list and 
the new events architecture. After having struggled against AS1 and AS2 
to build components (and if any of you have built professional 
components in the past you'll know what I'm talking about), AS3 is like 
a breath of fresh air. I can't wait to see what everyone does with it.
