Macromedia has a great article on what Flex means to the designer:

"Macromedia has introduced Flex, and everyone seems to be excited about it. But Flex looks like it's for application developers. Does that mean designers are being left behind? Does it mean I have to learn a completely new set of skills? No, in both cases. It's true that Flex brings the power of the Macromedia Flash Platform to developers, but the applications that developers build require the knowledge and expertise of designers style and appearance, information architecture, interaction design, not to mention great content. So all the skills you've developed around Macromedia Flash, Fireworks, Photoshop, UI design, and so on, can be must be applied to building application interfaces with Flex. "
