Hi again,
I was asking for a little bit more info on:
"you would have to manually bootstrap a lot of the application
initialization code that Flex handles (something which would be rather
complex)"
Are you talking about initializing something to allow Events to work
or stuff like that?
Thanks again for you time.

If you want to create a SWF that doesnt use the Flex Framework:
--HelloWorld.as--
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class HelloWorld extends Sprite;
{
public funciton HelloWorld()
{
trace("Hello World");
}
}
}
Then compile like so:
mxmlc HelloWorld.as
That will compile a SWF.
If you want to use the Flex Framework, then you :
a. have to use the technique I describe below
b. have to take the size hit that using the framework entails
Hope that helps...
