Golden Rule I live by: What you can do in FLASH, you can do in FLEX. The catch22, is that sometimes in flash you can setup a container.swf, and load in an "other.swf" that makes use of variables items within container.swf itself. That works cool, but I'm a bit sketchy on this one, that if you import a Flash build SWF into a FLEX app via loadMovie for example and inside this "other.swf" is say V2 Controls (Flex look-a-likes) i'm unsure as to how the two will collide? ie FLEX uses its own flavoured version of the v2 framework where as FLASH has its own version and not sure if there will be two sets brought in.
But, for a test case i build a Modeler SWF in FLASH which basically lets you drag shapes on stage and connect nodes to these shames (pretty much the same as MS Word Workflow Tool) .. it works fine in FLEX but i dare not as yet try and use variables within that swf inside flex? but in theory the two should be able to. I guess be careful with the two frameworks? but you should be able to live by the same rules/boundaries as if you where using two SWF files to communicate with one another either via localConnection or via swf within swif approach.
