I'm using Adobe's free AS3 compiler on ubuntu, with make and scite. I won't go back to AS2, not even for good money; AS3 is a fresh learning curve but worth it. I'm using TweenMax (http://blog.greensock.com/tweenmaxas3/) for tweening and very impressed with it. And Flex (also free) for buttons and menus (they are well-documented and easy to use, but a bit clunky compared to native OS UI controls, or HTML forms; but if I need UI controls in flash I don't think I'd consider anything else.)
