Getting AdvancedDataGrid to work in Flex SDK 3.3

I was having trouble finding AdvancedDataGrid in my list of components of FlexBuilder since I upgraded to SDK 3.3. Seems you need to download and install another extra package. Here's how it's done:
  1. Unzip datavisualization_for_SDK3.3.zip onto the SDK 3.3 folder (e.g. C:\Program Files\Flex Builder 3\sdks\3.3.0). This will extract the following into the SDK 3.3 installation.
  2. Open a command prompt or command shell and go to the lib subdirectory in the SDK 3.3 directory tree e.g. C:\Program Files\Flex Builder 3\sdks\3.3.0\lib
  3. Extract the sources for the data visualization components from DMV-source.jar by running the command java -jar DMV-source.jar "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Flex"
  4. Reboot and enjoy!
