Ok, my little recommendation here is first learn the basics of Flex,
and then start interacting with anything on the server side.
The book Brian mentioned, is a great book, but it doesn''t teach you
nor Flex nor Rails, it assumes you already have basic knowledges of
both technologies.
you can take a look at this[1] Adobe''s site to a serie of screencasts
that covers the start up from essential to advanced topics, and also,
you''ll get a link to the PDF version of Getting Started With Flex 3.
Once you have a basic notion about Flex (two - three days, aprox) then
go for the next part.
For ActionScript, I always used the Flex Builer documentation, it is
the same that is on Adobe''s docs site and is ussually good enough.
Hope it helps.
