OK, I'll bite . . .

The only solution that I can think of, off the top of my head, is to
pop up a new browser window and embed just the TinyMCE instance in
that window. When the user has committed their changes in the editor
window, use JavaScript and Flex's ExternalInterface API to get the
edited content back into the Flex world. And you need some code to
close the pop up window, etc.

Personally, I'd try real hard to work around that scrolling issue you
mentioned, first, before I implemented the pop-up.
