The ArcGIS API for Flex, version 2.0, is now open to the world through a public beta release. Visit the ArcGIS API for Flex 2.0 SDK to read help, samples, and developer reference topics for the API.
Like its JavaScript counterpart, version 2.0 of the ArcGIS API for Flex introduces support for Web editing, a “feature layer” for working with client-side graphics, support for time-aware layers, an expanded geometry service, new components, faster queries, and many other features. See the detailed What’s New for more information, including migration steps.
For a good overview of the Flex API 2.0, check out this video from the ESRI Developer Summit.
Many of the new features require ArcGIS 10. If you don’t have ArcGIS 10 beta, you can still try out the API using an ArcGIS 10 sample server that ESRI has made available.
Have fun exploring the new API! We look forward to your feedback.

Are the samples going to be updated to reflect the new Spark component architecture (s:Button as opposed to mx:Button)?
Will custom mxml’s from previous flex migrate to 2.0?
