There are some cool open source projects that are creating ripples in flex. I find the best of all to be Flare. Flare is very flexible and light-weight. It provides foundation classes to create ultimate data-visualization components with useful animations, transitions and effects.
There is another such project called BirdEye. This is pretty cool but still not as great as Flare. However the vision of this project is to create an end-to-end solution for data-visualization. Not the fun stuff that developers would like to reuse.
Flare:
Flare is an ActionScript library for creating visualizations that run in the Adobe Flash Player. From basic charts and graphs to complex interactive graphics, the toolkit supports data management, visual encoding, animation, and interaction techniques. Even better, flare features a modular design that lets developers create customized visualization techniques without having to reinvent the wheel.
BirdEye:
BirdEye is a community project to advance the design and development of a comprehensive open source information visualization and visual analytics library for Adobe Flex. The actionscript-based library enables users to create multi-dimensional data visualization interfaces for the analysis and presentation of information.
Have fun with all the cool data-visualization stuff!

Look at Style Chart. It's not open source but free. Very advanced.
