I'm doing some side projects with Flex and Firebase. JavaScript is the bridge for this and I've extended the ExternalInterface class to handle SQL-like strings that convert to FireBase calls. I can honestly say I've haven't any issues. I'm running 4.13/Swiz/CF and I feel programming has never been anymore fun with this stack. I'd say jump back into this. Cheers!
