If you are a Flex developer, you are probably aware of what FlexSpy is. FlexSpy is an inspection tool for Flex applications, similar to what Firebug is for HTML applications.

Other useful functionality, is a video playback. It has been built with Adobe AIR and Papervision3D. The application can be installed on PC/MAC/Linux machines, by using the image link below:
I am a bit late in blogging about this as the news is all over the blogospher by now but its Monday morning and I just found this out.
Adobe have released Flex 3.0 and AIR 1.0 . This was a much awaited news as far as I know. The good thing is that they have setup a Adobe Open Source Flex SDK wiki which looks good as well.
And because the SDK is open source, the code can be downloaded via SVN from here.
