Flash CS3 won't work using WinE. I haven't had any experience with OpenLaszlo, but I could direct you to their documentation.

their documentation was too confusing for me

is there any way to see a list of the stuff in the repos?

You could try Ubuntu's package section.

Ok one thing, it looks like you need the Java SDK installed on your machine to proceed. You've got two options. You can go to the Sun Java JDK site, click the download link for "JDK 6 Update 6" and install that.

The other option, type this from the command line to get the non-commercial java SDK.

sudo apt-get install free-java-sdk

If you go that way, you'll need to manually set the JAVA_HOME variable and the PATH for the java sdk so OpenLaszlo knows where to go. In that case, you'll need to do this:

1) Go to the Terminal and type "gksudo gedit ~/.bashrc"
2) Add these lines at the bottom of the file

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/fjsdk
PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/fjsdk/bin
export PATH
export JAVA_HOME

3) Save the file, close. Log out, log back in.

With all that done, now you can unpack and run the program as the installation instructions state.

You can search repos:

sudo aptitude search package

so

sudo aptitude search openlaszlo

(returned 0 results by the way).
