I've had some joy with Haxe as a way to write Flash to embed in a Rails frontend. The app hasn't gone public yet, but I'll let you know when it does. Haxe is a pretty sweet language, and AS3 isn't that hard to learn. You can use Flex with it, but I haven't. See haxe.org anyhow; it's open source. I've also managed to integrate drag&drop using Prototype, dragging over and dropping on the Flash stage, but it causes redraw funnies in some browsers, incl FF2 on OS/X :-(. I have patches for Prototype to allow that. You can also drag from Flash out to HTML land too, and call functions in both directions, which allows pretty tight integration. I plan to use Haxe a fair bit more in the new year.
