I'd say you're actually thinking about that back to front. Flex is a
J2EE web application that totally depends on having a servlet container
in which to run. The real thing to ask is why do I need this Apache
webserver thing bolted onto the front when the servlet container can
serve the files just fine.
The answer to that is along the same lines as why you have a mouse
plugged into your laptop when you already have a touchpad that does
essentially the same thing.

Depending on your ISP, you should be able to do this. I can walk you
through it offline if you like.
