Hi!
How do I get the speed of a thing in Flex format?

GetThingVel? It will return a vector though, I think, so you'll want to extrapolate speed from it.

VectorLen(GetThingVel(thing));

If you look at GetThingVel() in the DataMaster, under the syntax example, it says "The length of the velocity returned by GetThingVel() is the speed that the thing is moving at."
