This viewer app is done in pure ActionScript 3 using the Flash Player APIs:

It's no piece of cake, let me tell you that. You end up having to
write a lot of stuff that's already taken care of by the Flex
framework. On the upside, you can make your own framework tailored to
your needs -- optimized and all.

I'd say if your app is going to be complex enough, writing it in pure
AS3 (without Flex) isn't going to buy you much. If you call your app a
"widget" though, I agree Flex is too much for that. The world needs a
mini-Flex, a widget development language.
