I did it in Flash utilizing Remoting & Java and it wasn't an overtly bad first stab, but extremely challenging to debug.  The biggest problem I'd face if I did it again in Flex is the same problem we had in Flash:
 
There are no decent, open source Java spellcheckers.  Their dictionaries are stupid, and it'd be faster for me to learn Java in a week, and write it myself, and post to SourceForge.
 
Just a note from the trenches, if you can ensure the text you are getting is plain text, more the merrier.  Parsing out words from HTML (Rich Text), and then turning it back to Rich Text when you're done with is a royal pain.
 
I did enjoy using the IteratorImpl class that Flash had, though, I bet Flex' is better.

Subject: [flexcoders] spell checking

Has anyone integrated a spell checker into their Flex application?  I would love to hear about it, as I have a requirement to do just that.
 
Thanks in advance.
