Adobe Flex Builder is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for developing flex/actionscript/flash applications.

See also: MXML (for a short intro to MXML, the layout language), Actionscript 3 (entry point for pure AS tutorials) and Flash ActionScript 3 overview (the Flash AS equivalent).

Using

Step 1 - Create a new Project.
Like most IDEs you can't just edit a little file, but you need to define a new project: File->New; Flex project.
We called our project "testing"
Step 2 - Add some *.mxml code.
Just copy and paste some code. E.g. get some code from the

Flex datagrid tutorial.
