Open Source Visual IDE for Flash/Flex

I refuse to pay hundreds of dollars to Adobe’s monopoly just so I can develop in their language.

There, with that out of the way…

We are a global team of developers, working around the clock, some of us for money, others just for the rush of solving problems and helping others along the way. (I am of the latter) Now, with all these great minds working together, there has got to be some open source or at least free development environment that allows you to visualize Flash or Flex projects while designing them, similar to Visual Stuido’s layout or what Adobe charges hundreds of dollars for Flex.

When you think about it, a visual IDE should be **really **(let me empasize that again) [SIZE=4]**REALLY **[/SIZE]simple. Please tell me that someone has developed this already, for free.

Several times I have realized that something is lacking, started to work on it, and then realize that someone else has already developed the same thing, and any further effort on my part would be a crappy job at reinventing the wheel.

No doubt there is something out there that matches my wishes?
