• Emacs modes for Flex:
• XML: nXML-mode for Emacs from James Clark Using Emacs for XML documents
• Actionscript: actionscript-mode.el for editing actionscript files in emacs.
• At least right now it seems you want this xml mode and this actionscript-mode.el.
• Then, add

  (setq auto-mode-alist (append (list
   '("\\.as\\'"   . actionscript-mode)
   '("\\.\\(xml\\|xsl\\|rng\\|xhtml\\|mxml\\)\\'" . nxml-mode)
   ;; add more modes here
   ) auto-mode-alist))
  
  ;;
  ;; ------------------ Magic for XML Mode ----------------
  ;;
  
  (setq nxml-mode-hook
      '(lambda ()
   (setq tab-width        2
         indent-tabs-mode nil)
         (set-variable 'nxml-child-indent     2)
         (set-variable 'nxml-attribute-indent 2)
         ))
  

• You can use M-x customize-group RET nxml-highlighting-faces RET to fix your colors the way you like 'em.
• Setting up asdoc to work within Flex Builder:
• First, install ant support (Ant is an offshoot of apache and is like Makefile only more betterer.)
• Then set up a build.xml in your docs/ directory to build the documentation set.
• I had to modify mine a bit: I added <property name="Templates.dir" location="${FlexSDK.dir}/asdoc/templates/"/> <arg line='-templates-path ${Templates.dir}'/>
• I also linked the flex home to a no-funny-characters dir:

      ln -s "/Applications/Applications/Adobe Flex Builder 2" /work/ProgramStores/Flex
     cd /work/ProgramStores/Flex
     ln -s "Flex SDK 2" FlexSDK

  Then I exported the location for the asdoc file:

      export FLEX_HOME=/work/ProgramStores/Flex/FlexSDK

  or else I got the error message:

      Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Flex
