“We intend to still deliver this capability in CS5 and it is up to Apple whether they choose to allow or disallow applications as their rules shift over time.”

Today Adobe released Flash Builder 4, the successor to Flex Builder 3. The name change reflects the move to move all Flash related products under one brand, the Flash Platform.
“Adobe® Flash® Builder™ 4 (formerly Adobe Flex® Builder™) software is designed to help software developers rapidly develop cross-platform rich Internet applications (RIAs) and content using the open source Flex framework. It includes support for intelligent coding, debugging, and visual design and features powerful testing tools that speed up development and lead to higher performing applications.”
More info on the Adobe Flash Builder 4 home page.

Well not really what I would call a cheat sheet, more a collection of useful code snippets for common ActionScript tasks. Still, a handy utility for any Flash developer or designer.
Visit Code Cheatsheet.
