Yup. The only downside though, is that communicating with a .swf loaded into Flex is NOT as straightforward as it is when you load a .swf into regular Flash. If no communication/control of the .swf needs to occur (i.e., it's just a straightforward animation) then it's simple. It is possible though, it's just involves more coding than you would think, and it's not code you could easily just figure out on your own without some advice or samples. This is MY personal big hang-up with Flex. My biggest hang-up with Flash is lack of good components, and difficulty in creating them and skinning them. That's one of the areas where Flex shines.
