Sometimes I wish Flex had the equivalent of the 'Display Element Information' feature of the Web Developer plugin for Firefox. It is often useful to see exactly where the boundaries of a container are, and selected information about a component such as its parent hierarchy.

After looking in vain, I created InfoMouse.

Let me know what you think. View source gives you everything you need to improve it.
