Ram,

please see my following responses -

• Identify and describe the implementation and purpose of common
software design patterns that are used in Flex. (Design patterns
include: Observer, Command, and Data transfer)

there are several frameworks which try to implement MVC design pattern on
the top of flex framework, most of these frameworks have their own
techniques of separating out views, data and logic. you might want to look
at mate, cairngorm, robotlegs. check out sean's posts around design patters
http://seantheflashguy.com/blog/category/design-patterns/ , to know more
about design patterns in actionscipt/flex you can go through this book

• Explain how modules are used in the development of a Flex
application.
modules let you split your application in several pieces.

• Explain the use case and development workflow for building a custom
preloader.

there can be several use cases where you might want to use your own custom
preloader, for example the most basic use case is to style it according to
your app design, in most cases flex application developers forget to do this
and this often in my opinion leaves a bad impression as far as the flex
application design is concerned.
there are several ways of creating custom preloaders, you might want to
create it in catalyst, flash professional and use them inside your flex
application, to give you some pointers look at these URLs to get urself
started.
