I’m not sure I entirely understand
what you’re doing. But I think the big thing is that you want to expose
drawing tools and control layering. This is done in ActionScript whether you
build the whole application in Flash or Flex. All of the drawing methods are from
the MovieClip class. And you can learn more about how to control layers by
checking out the swapDepths method on UIObject.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Can Flex
do this?
I think I am getting a better handle on how to
create the application
in Flex and using Flash to develop the specific
components of the
drawing tool, but how would the users drawings get
saved and sent
back to the Flex app?
For example, we have an image that will be
chosen in the Flex app,
we will place the image on a canvas and use Flash
components to
create drawing tools to add "layers" to
the image (text, shapes,
etc). Now we want to send those drawn
"layers" back to Flex, so that
they can be merged with the original image.
How will Flex grab what
was drawn using the Flash components?
Does that make sense?
