In a pdf you can link to page numbers like so:
http://www.company.com/file.pdf#page=27

or to named bookedmarks:
http://www.company.com/file.pdf#nameddest =section3

In Flex you just need to use navigateToURL with URLs in the above form

There's probably also a way to use JS and the AS-JS bridge to talk from AS to 
JS to control the PDF.

Thanks,
Justin
