Is there a good Flex IDE/development env that works on Ubuntu?
Where can this be found?

+4  A: 

Flex on Ubuntu: The Complete How To Guide describes all the available options, the most prominent one is :

Flex Builder Linux Alpha is an Adobe free product, which is a Flex build environment as a plugin for Eclipse. Don’t worry about the Alpha part, it seems like a very stable product, and besides eating up some memory, I had no problems with it. It is actually an exact replica of the Flex Builder for Windows, without the features of Design View, some wizards and the profiler.

This alpha is about to expire. Please vote for the FB on Linux feature request on Adobe's site:http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-19053

Haven't tried it, but Adobe seem to be developing a linux version of flex builder.

They seem to *have been* developing a linux version. The last release was an alpha, released more than a year ago.

IntelliJ IDEA 9 also now supports Flex development.

But not in the new community edition. Only in the "Ultimate" edition.

I've been using Flex Builder Linux for more than 2 years, and it works great. An installation guide (with patch for Eclipse 3.5 & 3.4) is available here:

Another option is FB4linux : code.google.com/p/fb4linux/
