I think the challenge that he's looking to fix is going the other way. Using the flex ui components in the flash authoring environment and being able to manipulate those components with the flash animation interface.
I think it's a great conversation for the group to have but in the end the solution needs to be a flash pro based solution and thus outside of the core focus of the apache flex group because the real solution is a flash plug-in that takes a flex view wrapped in a movieclip and displays it in the authoring environment. I don't know the answer offhand but I think it's a great research project that could reap surprising awards. Recently I discovered that because of the way that flex views are structured, it's tough to use the hardware accelerated stage3d and video classes for ios mobile apps with flex. As a result I'm thinking more and more about focusing on actionscript only projects and bringing in flex components in only if needed as an add on layer in just the way that he needs them. I'm not sure how the previewing of content can work on the timeline, but wonder if some experimentation can enable this by rasterizing video clips via an api on each enterframe?
