F4l never even generated any code. There is also FLAME, which also 
doesn't yet either. The only free IDEs are the ActionScript 2 plugin for 
Eclipse (never tried it) and OpenLazlo. Lazlo has it's own widget 
library instead of using Adobe Flex.

For Gnash, we use mtasc and Ming (which we also support), but both are 
only command line driven tools. I've got a pretty full list of Flash 
creation tools up on our Wiki: 
http://wiki.gnashdev.org/wiki/index.php/Tools. Our hope is one of these 
days we can have somebody put a GUI on top of Ming.
