I've never done this, but I think some people use the SDK to compile stuff on the fly and then use the resulting swf. I think it's usually something done on the server rather than the client. I'm surprised an alternative approach isn't used - create some XML to represent the component you're trying to build and have the client interpret that and build the component on the fly. Naturally it can't be as sophisticated as the mxml/SDK approach but I suspect it's good enough for most purposes.
