Various versions of the Macromedia Flash authoring environments have 
been working under WINE for quite awhile:

I know that there has been research, for years, on whether authoring 
development for Linux provides a return-on-investment for that 
engineering time, but so far I haven't seen any attempts to sell into 
the market of Linux users.

Many people are successfully use the free Adobe Flex 2 Framework and 
Compiler on their Linux boxes today:
