Controls included with FlexBuilder 3 out of the box below… check out some third party components here .

Notes will be updated as I actually get a chance to put some of these to use.

FlexBuilder 3 Controls
Control Name Notes
AdvancedDataGrid  Professional version only
+ multi column sorting
+ grouping
+ tree view
+ printing support
– Still no paging support out of the box
