Flash CS3 has been shipping for 2½ months.  Flex 3 is now up on labs.  And also up on labs is the Flex Component Kit for Flash CS3.  Finally Adobe is releasing resources focusing on Flex/Flash integration.

Following are links to a few resources on the topic of integrating Flex and Flash.

NOTE:  If you see links for additional sources, please use the comments to add them in.  We will refresh this list in time at the list grows.

    Using fl.* classes in FlexBuilder- impossible?
    http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/80765

    Link above is a thread from Ben Clinkinbeard with Adobe support from the Flex team members Alex Harui and Matt Chotin. (At link above, see bottom of page for all posts on the thread. The link above is not the start of the thread, but rather well into it.)

    The thread details Ben’s mixed success using FlexBuilder to code an AS3 project that is also publishable via the Flash CS3 IDE. As of his post on the link above, he writes:
    >> I have simply set up an Ant task that uses the FlashDriver.exe that
    >> comes with PrimalScript to switch to the IDE and publish the active FLA.
