AS 3.0 is awesome and Flex is awesome too. So what are your options to get your hands on them and apply these to various projects.
The easiest way is to get the Flex Builder from Adobe. The other way is to get the Flex eclipse plugin and use it with Eclipse.But those coming from Flash & Photoshop background FB seems the best option.So download and use it for free for 60 days.A great decision. In these 60 days you invest your time to learn MXML, AS 3.0 as well as toolsets of FB.Once the time period passes you think of buying it.A greater decision. You go to the Adobe site and click the buy online button and the journey starts(to the hell, of course).If you are from a country not listed for sale in their site such as India and try to buy from another country from the list, you will be shown the door like this
Oh, what a bad day.
So what are your options now?
You can certainly do one of the following :
1) Quit this Flex thing altogether
2) Start again with SDK and spend another 60 days to love working in this alternative way
or 3) search for the c*****d version on some torrent (and continue form 62nd or 63rd day)
You decide which option to take.From now on you are on your own.
TIP: why don’t you ask Adobe guys or the evangelists who in the first place lured you into trying Flex altogether ?

We’re working to get the online store for India up and running – sorry you had some problems.
If you need a serial number for Flex Builder, email me and I’ll send you one.

@ mike
this little info from you is refreshing enough. BTW i am downloading the mac version of FB3 for my new macbook. So I will first take the 60 days advantage and then ask you for a serial number if i cant buy one.
Of course things are going to change a bit when Thermo comes !!!
