How to use a Flash/Flex GUI for DW Extensions

Question

I am creating a DW extension for an image and flash gallery.
The extension will be accessible from the Insert menu. Once
clicked, it would present me with a Flash/Flex form to
search/browse for images/swf by file name or tags. Once I select an
image/swf and clicked OK, it would insert into my webpage the
absolute URL associated with the image/swf. The problem is I am not
aware of how to create an extension with a Flash/Flex GUI.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

You should check out the Flash panels and Dialogs section of the Dreamweaver API reference. Here is a link.

This gives you direct access to Flash panels and dialogs from the Dreamweaver Javascript API. Adobe is working on a document for how to create CSXS based Flash Extensions. CSXS based extensions only work as a floating panel that surface themselves in the Windows, Extensions menu.
