You should use the Flex SDK or the FlexBuilder instead of the Flash IDE.
In Flex you describe your application and your components in XML and almost everything can be scripted in Actionscript 3.0.

Furthermore I was really impressed by the FlexBuilder, which is based on Eclipse and provides a visual designer and an excellent actionscript editor with auto-completion.

IMHO Silverlight will have a hard time competing with Flex, as Flex will be open-sourced soon and is two years ahead.
