Is Open Resource crashing your Flex Builder on Leopard?
Unzip this and drop the two jars into the plugin folder in your Flex Builder directory:

There’s a known issue with the version of SWT used in Eclipse and Leopard. Zach Pinter stumbled across the solution on an Eclipse forum a few months ago after upgrading to Leopard. It seems to [nearly] completely stabilize Flex Builder. I was actually crashing Flex Builder when creating new resources, or using the open resource dialog.
Disclaimer: I have no idea what repercussions this might have on the rest of your dev environment, but it’s been working for me for a few months now on various versions of stand-alone Flex Builder.
I was hoping that the official release of Flex Builder would address this issue, but shortly after installing it, Flex Builder crashed when I created a new Action Script class, so I assume the Open Resource dialog is still busted too. It’s obviously an Eclipse issue, so unless Adobe released Flex Builder 3 on a yet-to-be-released version of Eclipse, the issue is still around.
Let me know if this works for you!
