Flex as the frontend is a good choice. It's really a nice framework, which lets you concentrate on the content. If you are a good programmer, you'll be able to pick up speed with Flex very quickly. On the other hand you are limiting your audience to Flash player 9.
As for the backend: I'd go with the knowledge & resources you have available. Though Java environments like Eclipse JDT are very good, i doubt that it will make the difference in a three month project, esspecially if you have to learn it first. Maybe haxe is another option? Looks like a promising technology to me (see haxe.org). Cheers, Ralf.
