Ok, my little recommendation here is first learn the basics of Flex, and then start interacting with anything on the server side. The book Brian mentioned, is a great book, but it doesn't teach you nor Flex nor Rails, it assumes you already have basic knowledges of both technologies. you can take a look at this[1] Adobe's site to a serie of screencasts that covers the start up from essential to advanced topics, and also, you'll get a link to the PDF version of Getting Started With Flex 3. Once you have a basic notion about Flex (two - three days, aprox) then go for the next part. For ActionScript, I always used the Flex Builer documentation, it is the same that is on Adobe's docs site and is ussually good enough. Hope it helps.
