I believe it's because flex builder has a hard time embedding assets
via absolute paths (I've even had it error in this way using relative
paths if the path is not within the same compile-time hierarchy, but
would be during run-time). Basically the compiler cannot find the
file with the given path usually.
It's also a big issue when compiling via command line mxmlc (say via
ant scripts). You have to make sure the pathing is done just right
for the embeds not to cause a problem.
Try the following:
[Embed(source="assets/flash/MenuScreens.swf", symbol="SendToFriend")]
public class SendToFriendScreen extends AbstractScreen {...
If that doesn't work then try using "../" relative to where you are in
the structure. If you're like me and you put assets on the same
relative path as src, and let's assume that SendToFriendScreen.as is
in a subfolder off src called components, then your embed would look
like:
[Embed(source="../../assets/flash/MenuScreens.swf",
symbol="SendToFriend")]
If anyone with a more standard (and always-works) approach would like
to chime in about embeds, please feel free as I would love to learn
the better practices here. However, I've yet to see any real
consistency with flex builder and relative vs. absolute embedding.
Thanks,

What could be the issue?
