Hi Vinay,

 It is not neccesary for a Flex Developer to learn Flash MX. If you are 
comfortable with actionscript, that should be sufficient for developing Flex 
Applications.

 I would also recommend that you upgrade to Flex 2.0 Beta 3, which is available

for download at the following link.

 Flex 2.0 is based on ActionScript 3.0, which is a powerful, 
ECMAScript-standard object-oriented programming language. It would be more 
easier for a Java developer to learn/use ActionScript 3.0 compared to 
ActionScript 2.0.
