Answer 1

if you can use http webservices try to use one provided by bit.ly to shorten url

http://code.google.com/p/bitly-api/wiki/ApiDocumentation#/shorten

http://api.bit.ly/shorten?version=2.0.1&longUrl=' + textarea.text}" result="doSomething(event)"/>

Answer 2

I've never used this api, so research before use: http://userflex.wordpress.com/2008/05/29/tinyurl-flex-library/

It looks like a set of utility functions a simple as: TinyURL.create(url,callbackFunction);

Best of luck, Jeremy
