Read and write excel files in Flex.
From the site:
Some time ago I was working on a little project for which I wanted to read and write Excel files in Flex. I Googled hither and yon but sadly I could only find a sample someone tossed out there sans code. So, I put together a little package to read and write Excel files. So far it supports reading text, numbers, formulas, and dates from Excel version 2.x-2003 and writing text, numbers, and dates. Formulas also update to reflect changes in cells they reference.
The API is intended to be straightforward and easy to use. There are some samples to play with and the obligatory ASdocs.

FlashVarsUtil
Util class to access FlashVars in Flex. From the site:
…I would share a little Util class I wrote a while back to make your lives easier. It uses the [Mixin] tag to make sure variables are available before the application creation is complete.

Reflection Component
The reflection component is used to give the illusion of a reflective surface in your Flex 2 applications. It includes a few properties for custom fading, skewing and scaling and was made with real-time reflection in mind. This component is a little different from similar work like Trey Long’s or PixelFumes’ because its not used like a filter or effect and takes up its own screen real estate.

HTMLStyle
HTMLStyle is a component I developed for the sake of simplifying the process of formatting html-text in Flex. It allows you to create a stylesheet pretty similar to the way you would place a mx:Style tag for declaring style definitions for your components.
The component also has a source property which can be set to target an external css file..

SuperViewStack
From the site:
For a Flex project I’m working on I decided I would need a ViewStack that also showed the children underneath the selectedChild.
[...]
SuperViewStack by default displays all of its children that are underneath its selectedChild.
You can easily adjust the factor with which underlying children fade, and with what tint. It is also possible to switch back to normal ViewStack mode.
SuperViewStack has almost all of the functionality that ViewStack has, and all the child-methods (for example addChild()) are still functional.
