#1 and #2 are the same - both need a new complete request/response cycle
for the entire page, and this excludes #3.
Don't try to solve these problems at once.
You need #1 and #2 for web sites - use HTML with Flash components.
You need #3 for web applications and #1 and #2 is sometimes technically
impossible or simple doesn't make sense - use DHTML/AJAX or Flash.

That's not a problem of flash. It's a problem of browsers and the
underlying HTTP protocol.
