could you recommend some good alternative Flex IDE? I am interested in free editions mostly but I will also take under consideration the paid ones.

Thanks

FlashDevelop is free, however I'm not a fan of their Flex support. It's better for straight actionscript development. There's also the following IDEs:

Tofino is free, but you need Visual Studio which isn't free. Flash Builder isn't free, but has a 60 day trial and if you're unemployed or a student, you can get a free copy. IntelliJ has a 'community' edition which is free, but I'm not sure if it includes Flex in it. Worth a try. FDT is not free, but has a 30 day trial and if you're an open source project, will provide a free license for it.

I think that's it. Hope that helps.
