Flex Component Libraries?

I was asked by my boss to make a semi-functional webapp layout using flex. He asked him to look like "WOW!" as much as possible. The built-in flex components are pretty simple. Are there any libraries out there with nice components? The only one I found is flexlib, which is awesome but I still need more components. I would also like to find some nice diagrams.

ps My boss is one of those "HOOK HINEY!" like guys, so the more unnecessary bells and whistles, the better.

Check out Tour De Flex . It includes a section on third party libraries with demos.

Here's a list of components, libraries and APIs .



To style your application, start with the Flex Style Explorer .

There's ILOG Elixir , but it's not free. We used it in my last job; it's pretty nice.



Also, be careful when your boss talks to quickly show him something shiny. You may be asked to develop a system in less time than is physically possible.

Do you need more components, or do you need to search better for the ones there? Take a look at the storytelling for a whole bunch of Flex-based styles, some of which certainly have "wow".
