I agree that mixing Flash and Flex in the one project doesn't make sense unless you're building you own components. The way I see it, the 2-way compatibility is extremely useful. Not for a single project but for different types of projects. Ideally all projects are best written using Flex. But not all projects can justify Flex. By using a framework and being a purist in keeping all code in external as files, it would be possible to write a Flash based desktop application that can evolve from the desktop to the intranet/internet by only changing service layer that depends on the platform it runs on. This also useful to us as developers, as the technology, framework and architecture skills will fundamentally be the same whether we're building a single user desktop application or a large scale, multiuser, distributed application.
