Hi, I might be able to help at least for the Flex 3 part of the question...
I've recently been interested in compiling for FP10 and also wanted to have some backward compatibility and be able to compile for FP9. It is possible with Flex 3. The simplest way I found to do this was to download the latest Flex Builder 3 from Adobe: this now includes the latest Flex SDK (3.2) for compiling projects for FP10. It also includes the Flash Player 10 debug version, although its not installed by default. On the Mac version you'll find the installer at FLEX_BUILDER_ROOT/Players/mac/10/ mac/Install Flash Player 10 UB.dmg... I presume its something similar for Windows. My personal experience was to uninstall my previous version of Flex Builder 3 (or the eclipse plugin version), download and install the latest version (FB3 3.0.2) and then install FP10 debug using the included installer. When you create a project you have the choice of compiling for FP9 or FP10: simply go into the project properties and select "ActionScript Compiler". You should now see that the Default SDK is 3.2, and further down the page you should see "Require Flash Player version" - probably set to something like 9.0.124. Simply change this to 10.0.0 and you'll be able to access all the FP10 features. So, as you can see you can compile specific projects for either FP9 or FP10. One thing to note is that by installing the FP10 debug version you remove the FP9 plugin in Firefox (and other browsers)... I think there are ways of installing both FP9 and FP10 plugins together although I've not tried this. There is a Firefox plugin called Flash Switcher (http://www.sephiroth.it/weblog/archives/2006/10/ flash_switcher_for_firefox.php) which may help... Hope this is of some use...
