How to create a Flash 9 / ActionScript 3.0 wizard dialog

I need to create a wizard for a Flash 9 / ActionScript 3.0 application. The wizard will be a set of dialogs / windows for each step and back / next / undo buttons to navigate through the wizard. In the Adobe CS3 development environment, there is no easy way to create a set of dialogs or windows that contain steps for a wizard.

Currently I won't be able to use Flex, which seems to have much better support for built-in GUI components like containers. If there is a way to use Flex components in the Adobe Flash CS3 development environment, I would also be interested in this information.

One approach I am thinking of is to create separate timeline layers for each dialog I need for the wizard. When the user completes the wizrd, the application will install the visible or invisible components contained in the timeline layers that are appropriate for the current step in the wizrd.

I think this approach will work, but it doesn't seem to be the optimal solution. What are the alternative approaches that can be used in the Adobe CS3 development environment to create a wizard?

Make each stage a separate frame on the timeline. When the "Next" button is clicked, check the validity of the data. If it's bad, please report a bug. If that's okay, save it somewhere to use at the end and move on to the next frame.
