The ArcGIS API for Flex allows the creation of Rich Internet applications on top of ArcGIS Server. It is based on the free Adobe Flex framework. The Flex framework is a client-side technology that is rendered by Flash Player 9 and above, or by Adobe AIR. All Flex 3.x SDK versions are now supported.
Latest version of ArcGIS API for Flex is version 1.3 which was released on November 6, 2009 - see What's New for more information.
To use the API you simply download the ArcGIS API for Flex library and start creating your Flex applications using Flex Builder 3 (or your Flex tool of choice).
