You don't have to have extra software running on the server if you are 
only hosting SWF files created by Flex (or Flash).

If you want to interact with server side code, you may want to look at 
"Remoting"

If you want to stream media look at Red5 or Flash Media Server.  Red5 is 
free and Java based.

Adobe do have extra stuff that can run on the server, but it is not 
vital and is expensive.

ActionScript 3 has similar syntax to Java, with much stricter data 
typing so it runs about 10 times faster than ActionScript 2.  It's not 
as fast as Java, but people are doing realtime 3D and audio with it now, 
so it is still worth considering and easy to pick-up if you have done a 
few languages.


Hope this helps...
