3RD Party GUIs?

Is it possible to use flash to design the guis and then utilize them in Unity via scripting?

Yes, Uniswf.

Alternatively if you want to do it directly in ActionScript, there is Scaleform from Autodesk which offers a unity binding on all platforms thats possible (Win/OSX require Unity Pro, on Android / iOS it works on both licenses)
