Checked out Flex 4 from http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/flex/sdk/trunk/
Setup instructions are precise. No major hassles at all. The part where the `detailed steps’ for setting up on linux reads:
“Come on… if you’re a Linux geek you don’t need any handholding!
That said, if you would like to contribute instructions for those without your prowess, please post them on the Developers list and we will incorporate them.”
Heh!
Reading swf files from the local machine caused a Security sandbox error. Fixed this by adding the FlexSDK.cfg file under ~/.macromedia/#Security/FlashPlayerTrust/ folder. Abdul Qabiz has a detailed post on flash player trust on GNU/Linux.

Tom Bray and Robert Cadena came up with this cool Flex Chat app – Like a chat room or an IRC channel, but only more easier to connect to. Quite a few flex coders from around the world log in. You can even download the widget and run it as an air app or put up a widget on your blog.
They run searchcoders, an portal where you can contact employers if you are a flex coder, or get in touch with coders, if you are an employer.

I came across this cute little AIR app called AirTalkr.
Nice. Needs a bit of fine-tuning-love. Can’t sign out of just one of the IMs, Y! and other IMs logged in automatically when one logs in on Talkr and such. Good eye candy though 
Know of any c00l AIR / Flex apps? Leave a linky here!
