I don't think there is a pre-defined method to extra data from the Outline view of a class in Flex Builder.
I have used ArgoUML in the past for things like documenting classes and such before developing them. After development, more importantly during as well, you should use ASDoc. Using ASDoc you can build a HTML based 'hotlinked' API that looks just like livedocs.adobe.com documentation. You can style it the wa you want if so desired. ASDoc has been included in the Flex SDK since version 2 and you can find out more in the docs http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flex/ Typically I use Ant to generate, but you can use the command line too.
