A Flash container can only have a single Flex child. However, this child can be a Flex container which allows you to add additional children.
If your Flash container modifies the visual characteristics 
  of the Flex components contained in it, such as changing the alpha property, 
  you must embed the fonts used by the Flex components. 
  This is the same requirement that you have when using the Dissolve, Fade, 
  and Rotate effects with Flex components. 
The following procedure describes the basic process for creating a Flex component in Flash CS3:
library-path when you compile 
      your Flex application.For more information, see the documentation that ships with the Flex/Flash Integration Kit at http://www.adobe.com/go/flex3_cs3_swfkit.

| content | property | 
content:IUIComponentThe Flex content to display inside this container.
Typically, to add a child to a container in ActionScript, 
      you use the Container.addChild() or Container.addChildAt() method. 
      However, to add a child to the ContainerMovieClip.content property 
      of a Flash container, you do not use the addChild() or addChildAt() method. 
      Instead, you assign the child directly to the content property.
