The possibility definitely exists to do just that.  I'm not sure which
came first either.  MM Flex or the OS OpenLazlo.  I also don't have a
good grasp on what Flash remoting is.  But I imagine it's along the
lines of webservices.  You know, one could build a .NET webservice
wrapper that calls swfmill to generate objects on the fly.  However, if
the objects were already created and stored on the server it would just
need brokering to the client.  In any case, I didn't mean to sound
critical.  A lot of flash is still a mystery to me.

any ideas on the base64 decoding?  I could email you the files I was
working with.  But the process went like this:
SWF with JPEG embedded and on the stage.
SWF -> SWFMILL -> jpeg.xml
Actual JPEG -> base64 encode -> output.file
Search jpeg.xml for image, compare the base64 encoding to that of
output.file.

My results were different.  I tried creating the SWF with no compression
and 100% JPEG quality as well.

Your tip was a good one and would like to try to achieve the generate
the same base64 encoding.  So far I've been unsuccessful though.
