I have been doing some Flex work lately and found the following books decent to initially learn from or reference:
Adobe Flex 2: Training from the Source ActionScript 3.0 Cookbook Online references have helped as well. I also initially read the O'Reilly's book on Flex 2. I do not know if that helped me or not since I read that when traveling and did no coding until weeks after when I moved onto the other books. I did not find the learning curve to be too steep but also have a background in a couple of other languages which might have helped me out. Hoping to start doing some more work with it later this year. One of the people I do contract work for has made a major change(the motivation to make me start learning/using it) to doing Flex front ends with CF backends.
