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.
