Actually, your problem is not unique to accessing a method from Flex and it's got nothing to do with instantiation.. It's a scope issue. The scope names applied to the properties and methods of a cfc are confusing. Anything marked as public or remote will show in the "this" scope. Anything private is in the variables scope or the "no" scope (no prefix). So, if you're trying to call a private method using this.methodName() you will get an error because the UDF isn't defined in the public (this) scope.
