• Transfer data between components by using data bindings.

(look into livedocs>> data access and interconectivity>>binding data) TIP>> its good to read all topics here in data access and interconnectivity... these can be very handy)

• Create, handle, and dispatch custom events.

livedocs>>flex programming elements>> events

• Handle framework events.

livedocs >>as3>core as3>handling events

• Position UI elements by using enhanced constraints.

(for these 2 go through sizing and positioning components)
