Just so I'm clear, the issue is declaring z-order in MXML or in AS as well? There is no "depth" property on flash.display.DisplayObject AFAIK.
If JS supports a zOrder CSS style, then FlexJS should as well. You can add it to SimpleCSSStyles or create a new ZOrderCSSStyles. The SWF implementation should be done as a bead that folks add to the View sort of how we have beads that implement data binding. Hopefully the JS side will "just work" which is what we want: minimum overhead on the JS side.
