SuperImage from Quieting Scheming is a must use and an excellent replacement for the Image component for List Component in Flex. If you have tried to develop mashup that tap into Flickr / YouTube / any type of API that load into thumbnail and images, you will realize that if your List control scrolls, the image will flicker very badly. This is because the image is not cached internally and thus this impact very badly on the performance as well as to the scrolling. My previous ’solution’ is to make sure that the user do not get the chance to scroll, and thus, only fetching a pre-setted number of results. This problem is solved by the Super Image, which caches the images internally.
If you are facing the same problem, download SuperImage now and try it on your Flex application. You will be surprised!

AsWing is a set of UI components for Actionscript 3.0. Like Flex, it has its own series of components like VBox, Buttons, etc, and are skinnable with customizable look and feel. The good thing about AsWing is that you do not need to have a Flex project to use it. You can build it upon a pure AS3 project.
Since it is based from its Java sibling Swing, Java developers will find its API very familiar.
