The main thing on this is if I load in a flash 9 cs3 swf with a textarea
created.
var t:TextArea;
I then try and reference this same text area from flex
var text:TextArea = myflashmovie.myClass.getText();
This would create a compiler error as the textarea would be the flex
framework and the flash textarea would be the flash components. Not the
same object. (This is an assumption as I dont have flash 9 cs3).
Of course you can make a wrapper around the textarea object to return
only the data you want such as a string, etc. But this is just an extra
pain.
As an example something in the flex framework's text area has methods
that are not in the flash text area. Now you have to write code to
accomodate for this.
Does this make sense?

of text area I'm using if its flex or flash. They should both be able to work together. Or a simple component such as a button,
they should be
recognized the same while calling it in flash or flex.
If not, I can see major pains between the two.
Not really, all you need is a class associated with the loaded swf that Flex can communicate with, as I explained in my previous
post.
It would be nice if there is some brilliant workflow integration to handle this point. Otherwise we'll need to make an
Interface for
every flex to flash movie which is probably better structure wise, but what if
we want to return objects from one framework to the
next. Might bring up issues such as a text area from flash or flex.
Not sure where the Interface idea came from, but you don't need an Interface to
work with Classes.
What exaclty do you mean with "return objects".. you mean data, as in Array,
ArrayCollection?
If so, with a class associated with the loaded swf that should be a walk in the
park.
