2. Agenda
● Customised Flex components
● Value objects

3. Customised Flex Components
● Flex includes a large library of components (both UI and non-UI) that can be
readily used.
● In many cases, the visual and/or behaviour of these components are not
sufficient.
● Customised component can be built by extending an existing Flex
component.

4. Value Objects
● Value objects (VO) are simply a class (or template) with predetermined
properties.
● Main reason is to ease passing around an object within the application.
● Works very well when used in conjunction with customised component.
● VERY USEFUL concept especially for building mid to large scale application.
