Qi Labs has a good article on using Flex components in Flash ( which is kinda like what you are trying to do )
http://labs.qi-ideas.com/2007/12/25/using-flex-compiled-code-within-flash/ basically you package up all of the Flex framework classes you need and all of their dependancies and turn it into a swc that you can compile your AS3 code against. Unfortunately, Flex components tend to have A LOT of dependancies which makes it hard to keep file size down as Alex mentioned.
