If you're using Flex 1.5, use the FlashPaperLoader class from Matt
Chotin:

If you're using Flex 2, it's a lot trickier. Normally, you resize the
FlashPaper.swf by using the FlashPaper API [1], and just calling the
setSize( width, height ) method. However, because the FlashPaper.swf
lives inside of AVM1 and the Flex 2 loading .swf lives inside of AVM2,
you can't just directly talk between them.
I've come up with a solution, but it's not exactly trivial. I'll
describe it here at a high level, and hopefully get it up on my weblog
sometime in the near future when I have some time to package it up.
* Create a FlashPaperLoader.swf in Flash that uses a MovieClipLoader to
load the FlashPaper document. In this loader.swf, you need to shimmy in
methods for communication between AVM1 and AVM2. It's possible to use
either LocalConnection or ExternalInterface for this, but essentially,
the FlashPaperLoader.swf is responsible for exposing methods to AVM2
that simply proxy the method call and parameters to the loaded
FlashPaper.swf document.
* Instead of loading the FlashPaper.swf directly, load the
FlashPaperLoader.swf proxy and pass it the URL of the "real"
FlashPaper.swf to load. Use the AVM1/AVM2 communication mechanism you
created in the previous step to send progress information from the
loading movie over to Flex 2, so that you can report load progress
effectively to the user.
* When the load is complete, call the setSize on the
FlashPaperLoader.swf, again, using the AVM1/AVM2 communication
mechanism. When you call setSize on FlashPaperLoader, it should proxy
that call to the loaded FlashPaper document.
* Use the "resize" event in Flex 2 to make setSize calls, so that
resizes the browser or container sets the correct FlashPaper size.
When all is said and done, you end up with the desired behavior of
loading a FlashPaper document, having it fill the available area, and
having the correct scale. Again, it's not exactly trivial to get this
working, but I'm hoping to release my FlashPaperLoader component and
support files sometime in the near future.
Good luck,
