It took a bit of tinkering but I have the flex framework 2 and
actionscript 3 compiling on OS X (nb. not flex builder 2 plugin). if
you get all the jar files from the lib folder from the windows
standalone application - you can then use mxmlc.jar from the command
line or set up an ant script to do it. works great - can compile mxml
and/or AS class files no problem, and you can use it with any editor
of your choice.
so no need to rush out and make bill gates richer just yet ;)
will post a howto when i get a free minute.

Several parts of Flex Builder 2 rely on parts of the java.awt
family of
packages. There is a really nasty bug with threading on OS X whihc
means
that SWT and awt don't play well at all. Unfortunately the only way
to fix
it is at the OS level, so you have to use one or the other. I
expect MM will
have to reimplement the awt stuff for the OS X version.
AFAIK VirtualPC or some equivalent is the only way to get it going
on OS X.

Flex 2.... I cannot run it on my Mac :-(
Woe is me.....
I haven't tried to do this, but I would think you could run it on
a Mac,
although it may not be supported. With Flex 1.x at least, you could
install
it as an EAR or WAR file onto a J2EE app server. I suspect you can
do the
same thing with Flex 2, although you may need to run the installer on
Windows, or you may need to download a J2EE installer.
