I need to familiarize myself with this technology. My problem is that Google is swamp with results for tutorials. Where should I start?
What development environment should I use assuming this is only for learning purposes and I don’t want at the moment to buy any expensive software?
What tools should I use?
Any road maps for dummies?

I really think that “learning Flex” is a mistake. Focusing up on core Actionscript 3 skills is essential to long term success with the Flex framework. You will find that you rapidly hit a wall where “knowing Flex” without the underlying language core will be an extreme disadvantage. If you have prior experience with a statically typed language, the AS3 shouldn’t be difficult. All of Flex is written in AS3, and analyzing the underlying codebase is the best way I have found to learn the framework.
Essential Actionscript 3 is the best place to start down that path.
