4 Best GUI Framework for flash actionscript3
1. Minimal Comps
Minimal Comps are a set of Flash-based User Interface Components written in ActionScript 3.0 by Keith Peters of www.BIT-101.com.
The key point is that these components are lightweight and extremely easy to use. They are ideal for experimenting and prototyping. They do not have all the features that you would find in, say, Flex. And they probably aren’t what you want for a complex, data-driven enterprise site with a complex layout. But then again, they are a tiny, tiny fraction of the size, and have a tiny fraction of the learning curve of Flex components.

2.ASDPC library
The ASDPC library consists of a set of standard user interface controls applicable to any project without any architectural requirement. The library is targeted to simplify the development of control and form based ActionScript applications.
Using the ASDPCs does not require special knowledge or technical preparation. The controls can be used in both commercial or non-commercial projects.
3. AsWing
AsWing is an Open Source Flash ActionScript GUI framework and library that allows programmers to make their flash application(or RIA) UI easily. Its usage is similar to Java Swing. It provides a set of GUI components, which we intent to implement in pure object oriented ActionScript 2. A pluggable look and feel will be implemented too. It also provides many Util classes. AsWing is BSD licensed. AsWing A3 is the next/another life with ActionScript 3, components set is almost same to ActionScript 2 time, but capabilities are much more powerful.
4. Liquid Components
The Liquid Components extends the CS3 Components. It means that the liquid components can coexist with the CS3 components, they are totally interchangeable.
A big thank you to Grant Skinner for the the great work he has done on the CS3 components framework ! Liquid Components are made possible thanks to the well thought CS3 components framework.
