But, due to the lack of choices we have, we are forced to use tools that work best for now. Therefore, I encourage you to get an affordable CS5.5 Master Collection [1] which includes FB Premium 4.6 as update, and, let Adobe know that you simply can't move into the Adobe Cloud because of the lack of Apache Flex support.
