You can download the Flex 2.0 SDK for free, but if you want the power of the IDE you can purchase that at under $1000 USD (there is no public pricing available yet). You could develop RIA's with Flash authoring if you wanted to, but Flex makes it so much easier. For someone like yourself you may be interested in using Flash to design and development custom components and/or skins for your Flex applications. Hi Adam,

You can download the compiler, the framework, etc free of cost. If you want to use FlexBuilder, you'll have to pay for the IDE, but there is zero cost of entry for developing apps with flex 2. Just download the SDK and go. http://weblogs.macromedia.com/mesh/archives/2006/03/flex_is_free.cfm Adam,

I'm still not sure how I'm supposed to feel about this whole Flex 2.0 thing...
