I don't think pixel art is possible in flash. If it is it'd probably be harder than necessary. The reason is that flash is a vector program and pixel art is a raster art. So you're going to want to use a raster program like photoshop or mspaint or something along those lines.

Well, when things come to pixel art in Flash, I do the following thing: draw pixel elements in PS, save them as .gif, import intro Flash and then, use Trace Bitmap -> Curve fit: Pixels. After doin' this, your elements would be pixelated and vector. But note, that these elements should be placed on the whole pixels (position), like: _x: 20.0 and _y: 10.0. That's it.

The owner of Cartoonsmart.com (http://www.cartoonsmart.com) does is pixels (he calls them iso's) in flashmx.
Heres the link to some freebies he has offered.

those aren't really pixel drawings. more like vectors done isometrically (hence the name iso's)

Pixel art can be done in Flash, but as 28 stated, it's harder than it needs to be.

With Flash's Snap To Pixel feature enabled (Um, I think its under View/Snap To or something like that) you can zoom in and it will show a 1px by 1px grid. What you can then do is create a square and since snap to is enabled it will snap to the region of one of the pixel cells. Of course however, you MUST have the stroke turned off of your shape so that your square is just a fill. You can then duplicate this square and move it where you want it repeatedly until you have the end shape you want. You can alternately make this square a graphic symbol and that way its easier to work with... and you can change the colour in the properties panel by selecting 'Tint' from that effects drop down dealy.

But as you can tell, it's not worth the trouble, I'd probably do my pixel work in MS Paint before I did it Flash.
