After upgrading to 3.0.2, I was unable to extract the data visualization source code. When I used the instructions on Adobe's blog (http://blogs.adobe.com/flexdoc/2008/04/extracting_data_visualization.html), it told me that my license key was invalid. Even though the same license key was accepted by FlexBuilder without a problem. I ran into an issue with this. After upgrading to 3.0.2, I was unable to extract the data visualization source code.

I had FB Pro installed which shipped with Flex SDK 3.0. I wanted to update it to use the latest SDK so I went to opensource.adobe.com, downloaded version 3.2 next to my existing 3.0, then added 3.2 as a new Flex compiler option. When I went to use charting I discovered that FB couldn't find the component implementations of things like mx:PieChart. I later realized that the downloadable SDK is different from the SDK that shipped in FB because the opensource one does not contain the subdirectory fbpro/ which has all the charting components. It would have been my expectation that the SDK of any specific version would always be identical, and that a license key would unlock functionality not available to those without a license (Similar to how the bits for ColdFusion Enterprise are identical to ColdFusion Standard, and your license determines the available feature set). So, the only way to update your SDK *and* get the charting components is to update your Flex Builder to get the built-in SDK. I ran into a small, related issue worth mentioning here…
