I currently work on an application that is winforms .NET (C#) that the UI is in-part a Flash swf. We use f-in-box (http://www.f-in-box.com/)<http://www.f-in-box.com/> as the wrapper and send/receive quite a bit of data between the forms and the swf. We currently have a mixture of using ExternalInterface calls and a socket connection. We implemented the external interface first and found that in some cases it's performance was a bit slow, but it does offer the advantage of synchronous calls, so we (so far) have only migrated performance critical calls to a socket connection. For the most part this scenario works really good and I can easily see doing an entire app this way.
