I also find that the Behavior pattern is a powerful way of making components much lighter, more configurable and easier to extend and customize. I have used this pattern in one of my last Flex projects to create different versions of the same application with different features (features are implemented as behaviors). Configuring an applications features was only a matter of attaching the required behaviors an adding a new feature was only a matter of implementing a new behavior. I can also see new extensions or plugins implemented as behaviors in the future, which can be easily attached to your own custom components.
