Jason, IMHO your development should be carried out on Flash CS3. The free Flex 2/3 SDK will always be there for you should you decide to do some complex GUI work.
And you could use Sprouts (in OSFlash) for project management. Also, as Mark suggested FDT 3 Beta is out; if you need a better coding environment that is the ultimate choice, for 399EU.
