I have a Flash Builder 4 application which uses custom themes by loading external style sheets at run time. The user can change the themes via a dropdown menu.

Hello I've got an application that has one screen where there are 8 windows moving around a faux 3D octagon in relation to the mouse position, moving back and forth to give the user the feel of being inside a round(ish) room.

Currently, I'm just an XML editor, but I would like to get my hands dirty with some of the technology they use as soon as possible.

I have been using Flash Builder to build my flex software and I am a TDD guy. I find it irritating that I have to run ALL my tests in order to run any tests. It causes friction in my TDD workflow.
