No, IDEA doesn't have that integration at the moment. Since Adobe built
Blaze, that's one of the few places their tooling is better. That said, you
may be able to use AppPuncher by Midnight Coders to get that piece of
functionality. It'll only run a half hour at full functionality unless you
license it, but a half hour has always been enough time for me to figure out
what's going on in my AMF packets and fix it.

While you lose that piece, you gain some other tooling that, to me, has far
more value. IDEA's inspections save me a lot of wasted compilation, given
how slow the Flex compilers are. The refactoring support in IDEA for Flex is
almost the same as Java, which is substantially more complete than the very
limited set of refactorings FlexBuilder supports. FlashBuilder 4 finally
grew the ability to run FlexUnit tests directly from the IDE, but IDEA also
has that. Oh, and IDEA can compile Flex projects in parallel, if they don't
depend on each other, since the Flex compilers are single-threaded.

You can get a 30 day free trial of IDEA. Might be worth trying. When I first
joined this team, I was the only person using IDEA. Now, over half the team
is using it.

Good luck!
