You may need to use Adobe Flex Builder X Eclipse (X is the version of Flex).

As Cole mentions, you probably want to use Flex Builder.

From memory, the initial code can be done with just about any IDE, as it relies on Maven to do dependency management / code compilation.

Unfortunately my group at work gave up on this book because getting the code samples to work was chewing up way too much time. I hope you have better luck with it.
