Another question is how can i make an operational layer visible by default when the flex viewer app is started? Each layer has a visible tag, you can set it to true to turn on the layer by default.  See http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapps/flexviewer/help/index.html#layer_tag.htm <layer label="Streets"     type="tiled"     visible="true"     url="http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Street_Map/MapServer"/> ...

In regards to Legends ... you might also be interested in knowing that ArcGIS Server 10.0 SP1 (planned for this month) will have support for REST legends: http://downloads2.esri.com/support/documentation/ao_/10.0_SP1_Announcement.pdf (linked to from http://blogs.esri.com/Dev/blogs/arcgis/archive/2010/09/20/ArcGIS-10-Service-Pack-1.aspx).  The "server" part of that document lists all the bug fixes and enhancements coming in 10.0 SP1. We plan to take advantage of the REST legend support in both the next Flex API and Flex Viewer releases. ... View more

I just came back from the Adobe MAX 2010 Conference and mobile applications and touch-enabled devices were hot topics. Adobe just released Adobe AIR 2.5 which supports smartphones and tablets that run on Android, iOS, and Blackberry Tablet OS, along with Windows, Macintosh and Linux desktops. Developers can build applications for AIR using the next version of the Flex framework, which allows developers to use a common framework for building mobile and desktop applications. For example, writing applications for Adobe AIR for Android is now very easy. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/air25_whatsnew.html Also released was a preview of the next version of Adobe Flash Builder called Flash Builder Burrito. New features include the ability to build mobile and tablet applications. It's a "preview" so has bugs and is not a supported product, but still pretty cool: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/mobile_development_hero_burrito.html As for Esri's Flex API, we added additional touch support in version 2.1 (pinch in/out, double-tap) and are planning to add additional mobile/touch features in version 2.2. If you are writing applications for the Android, using the latest version of AIR seem to be a good way to go. ... View more

Before you start developing (or editing) Flex Viewer source code and compiling it within Flash Builder, you are need some skills in general Flex development as well as working with the Flex API. One way to achieve that is the Esri training class - "Building Web Applications Using the ArcGIS API for Flex" http://training.esri.com/gateway/index.cfm?fa=catalog.courseDetail&CourseID=50121730_10.x To learn Flex in general, Adobe has lots of resources, starting at their Flex Developer Central - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex.html, for example: Flex Test Drive - Build an application in an hour Flex in a Week video training ...
