I'll file a bug internally and try to learn some more.
Have you or the Team found a remedy for the AS3 issue? I want to develop an UI in Flash and want to know if it will be worth investing time in it. If it won't run on MAC I have to look for a different solution.

Tomasz,
Unfortunately, we do not have a solution at this time, and I can't predict how long it might be before we do.
Thank you so much for all your help in identifying and tracking down this problem! I wish I had a simple solution.
One idea, if you're in the mood for exploring some more, might be to see if AS3 could communicate with javascript via URL fragment identifier, like myFlashpage.html#some_custom_data. You may be able to set/get data via that string after the #.
A related idea might be to see if you can set the URL of a hidden iframe via flash and have JS read that URL to pull out some encoded data.
Cheers,

Like AJAX solutions often do?

This approach is most often used for "inter-frame" communication. If there are 2 frames in a page that are hosted on different domains, the JS in one is not allowed to access the other, but many browsers allow you to change the fragment identifier regardless of security, so it might work in this case. (There are a handful of other mechanisms people have used to get around frame-2-frame security, and any of them might work. Searching on the topic might give us a clever workaround.)
Ajax apps will often modify the fragment to maintain state in the URL, so you can still email URLs around and have your friends land on the same "page" inside an Ajax app.
