Awesome. Thanks.
One more question:
Is it the case that you can embed a symbol from a flash library in a
custom class and then refer to the movieclips in that symbol through
public attributes.
For example, on the timeline: someMC.
In the class:
Public var someMC: MovieClip
From there I would add eventListeners. And such.
Can a symbol be wrapped in this manner?

The source path where the assets are located needs to be in the list
of source paths for the Flex project. You can add source paths in
the project properties. When you Embed a asset, this asset needs to
be in Flex source. If you use say a Image tag, the source attribute
there is a 'runtime' source path.
If you are using CSS and set the CSS file to be 'compiled as SWF' so
you can load it at run time, there you may run into weird path
issues on occasion.

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?
