I wouldn't use Flex to process credit card - I would use your backend server like ColdFusion or PHP. You send the CC info to the server over SSL/Encrypted and then the server will post to the processor. I use authorize.net and I have never had a problem. There are CF tags out there for doing it, and all you do is fill in the blanks. Some of the things you pass are the login and password, hence you don't want that stored in the Flex app that can be decompiled. When it comes to peoples money, you need to be as careful as possible.
There are other solutions, where you can pop open up a webpage and pass info to it (like your account # and the amount to charge, etc) and the end user is filling out the CC info on a different site - then you get an email that it happened and you ship the product. However, this makes your company feel "small" and you lose orders because people get scared off. Anyway, use the server technology to do the processing, and never leave anything dangerous in your Flex app. Just my 2 cents.
