Hello,
IBM has posted an Eclipse plugin for Macromedia's
XUL dialect code-named MXML (aka Flash MX Markup
Language) on the alphaWorks site that lets you build
Macromedia Flash applications using the server-side
Macromedia Flex engine.
The Eclipse plugin for Flex includes two editors
(XUL and ActionScript - Macromedia's JavaScript
dialect) and even a debugger that lets you step into,
step over, pause and resume Flex apps running as Flash
movies in Flash players in a browser.
On the alphaWorks Flex plugin project page the
IBM'ers write:
The MXML editor extends the Structured Text Editor
(SED) and is a text-based, XML schema-driven,
validating editor. Future versions of the MXML editor
will include a drag-and-drop-style design view.
The ActionScript editor is patterned after the
JavaScript editor and sports syntax highlighting and
code completion on built-in objects. Future versions
of the ActionScript editor will support code hinting
on imported and user-defined types.

Of course, Macromedia has its own Dreamweaver-like
Desgin Studio brewing for Flex.
For some screenshots of Brady in action check out
Christophe Coenraets' (Micromedia Flex Evangelist)
blog story titled "Developing Flex Applications with
Brady and other tools".

Macromedia is also working on a tool, code-named
Brady, built on top of the Dreamweaver code base.
Brady allows you to develop Flex applications in a
WYSIWYG environment.
Just like in Dreamweaver, you can work in Brady's
Design view, in the Code view or in the Split View:
* When you modify the user interface in the design
view, the code is automatically adjusted.
* When you modify your code in the code view, you
automatically see you user interface changing in the
design view
