You should start now to get up to speed with Flex 2 as it sounds like you haven't used it before. And only deploy after rebuilding and testing wit the released version. > 2.)

Unless you plan to use Flex Enterprise Services (FES), everything necessary to build, test and deploy an application is free. Flex Builder IDE is not, its slated to be less US$1000. If you do plan to use FES, the limited connection version is free, but I don't how many connections it's limited to. That will, of course, depend on how many simultaneous connections to the server you are expecting. And there are other ways to connect to the server, such as Flash Remoting and Web Services. The server side costs vary from free and up depending on your server needs.
