I agree with Brendan, the IFrame choice is the best option for a Flex
based application (non AIR). The AIR runtime has an HTML component (I
think it's based on WebKit). The component seems to be a full featured
browser, but using this component really defeats one of the purposes
of Flex/AIR which is to be able to deploy a Flex app to the web or to
the desktop (IMHO).

The IFrame solution can be difficult as a result of the fact that it
makes external calls to JavaScript. But, if you're comfortable with
JavaScript and comfortable with ActionScript, then it provides a
reasonable solution.

Search on Google for the code. I was able to find an IFrame wrapper in
Flex about a year ago. Hopefully someone has wrapped a complete dialog
with appropriate manager functions by now. This would greatly simplify
the process. 

I have to say that I'm somewhat surprised that Adobe hasn't produced a
Flex component for this by this point. It's a thorn when dealing with
Flex. Please correct me if I'm wrong ;)
