Big RIAs need good interaction with the user. In big applications (like Buzzword, etc) with intensive text processing is a must to have implemented a spell checker.
A very good spell checker that is built in Actionscript 3 is Spelling Plus Library (SPL) by gSkinner - the license is here and can be bought from here.

If you use mxml in your application you should know that behind the scenes Flex will include in the project a lot of classes and controls (some of them you do not even want). You […]
