HotGigs has a feature where they collect and aggregate the hourly bill rates of the consultants on their site. Here are the average hourly bill rates for Flex, Flash, and Ruby, surprisingly they have sub-categories for Flash all the way down to Flash Remoting but there’s just one category for Ruby with no Rails sub-category.

Three new components for Flash and seven for Flex. The AutoCompleteManager and ColorPlaneAndSliderPicker for Flex look particularly useful.
There are other color pickers out there, but a lot of the others sit inside a Panel or have some other extra visual elements and functionality you might not need. A good component should do one thing very [...]

I know yes another snippet site, but none of the others highlight ActionScript properly. And because I don’t only collect snippets but blog posts about ActionScript as well there’s a feature called scraps which lets you [...]
Rick Olson’s attachment_fu is my favorite file upload plug-in because let’s you use three different image manipulation tools [rmagick, mini-magick, image science] and storage options [file system, database, amazon s3]. However it doesn’t yet support two features I use on every CMS I build, Flash/Flex file upload (images will upload but won’t be resized) and [...]

SWX Ruby is a port of SWX (originaly PHP), which claims to be “Ruby’s fastest library for exchanging data with Flash” I haven’t tried it because it doesn’t yet support Flash player 9 but I wouldn’t doubt it’s the fastest as many other methods aren’t too speedy (Although RubyAMF is much quicker lately).
