Screens in flash may be good for this, but I can see doing this using a ViewStack in Flex... then either your backend (Java, CF) along with some Actionscript would determine which child was selected... Accordions are mainly for splitting out steps (a check out for example)...
Flex doesn't have built in Flow control, like Screens in Flash... but Flex gives you the tools to do what you need.. Personally, I would do this in Flex using a View stack with multiple children and then code some rules to show the one I need..
