I figured it out. The key way to signal the javascipt through ExternalInterface.call so we know for sure that the swf is loaded. The most "Universal" way to do this is as follows:

MyClass.as

//MyClass.as  
package {

    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.external.ExternalInterface;

    public class MyClass extends Sprite
    {
        public function MyClass()
        {
            ExternalInterface.addCallback('getStringJS', getStringAS);
            if  (ExternalInterface.available) {
                ExternalInterface.call("isConnectedFlex");
            }
        }

        public function getStringAS():String
        {
            return "Hello World!";
        }
    }
}
