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.
