I've typically gone down the path of building the DB --> Serverside --> UI, but..
I've found with FLEX, it being a new medium and in many ways its easier to simply build UI upfront, get the "stakeholders" chomping at the bit in terms of what's written in spec form vs whats being built. It also helps to visualise how this is all going to pan out. I had a 52+ page spec for an application I was working on, and It was pretty darn thorough (even sequence diagrams heh). Yet, when the time came to put it to "digital" form, we discovered a few specific items that were either overlooked or needed more attention (mainly for how the business would cope vs technically). So, to summarise, I build outward-in, Cairngorms pretty good in that regard as you can come back and plug in the appropriate code via the Business Delegate(s) (ie i've built apps without even knowing how the server-side will work, aswell as how the db will work). VO's were fun when doing that, as it sometimes pays to have "knowledge" of both so you can mirror in equal aspects via both technologies..
