The sample application available on http://mach-ii.info implements an SOA like Sean describes.

Tracking Tools, which I just released as v1.1 (http://tracking-tools.com/blog/), used to be an FB3 app and I converted to Mach-II using SOA.  I hope to release the Flash client for it in the future.  

It's a bit more effort to implement and maintain but I really like the flexibility the SOA offers.
