These are two options for Rails...  I have used RubyAMF in some
internal projects and it worked relatively well.  I cannot say much
about Ruboss although it is on my list to check out.

http://ruboss.com/framework

Manning has a book out called "Flexible Rails", which may also be of
some interest.

I believe both approaches above use the AMF serialization format.  You
can also use simple web services to power a Flex app, but this is
straying off-topic for this list.  I have also used a REST approach
for internal projects.  If you're using HTTP+XML or JSON to power your
Flex app, then you can use any number of Ruby frameworks to serve the
Flex app XML or JSON respectively.
