I perfer to roll my own. In the case of flash components, they are only efficient if you are using lots of them since they all share base-components. A button component by itself is adds way too much to the filesize, but if you use a lot of components that use buttons that excess data actually serves a need.
I hate that so I threw together my own scroll-bar component quite easily. That is of course after figuring out the structure of a component. I've got z-depth simulator component in beta atm.
drunkn, you ever used the PEAR package for php? Makes sql a snap by condesing command sets much like rails.
