I have not actually used PureMVC, but from my experience, a true MVC pattern in Flash (in practical use) is rare. MVC is more well suited for an application with distinct states, and has more of an "application" feel to them. Flash just tends to have too many bleeding edges and it's hard to clearly separate your logic from visuals and such. I find more of a Singleton approach works for me, but again, I don't stick with it. I tend to mix and match various techniques and just make something work. Don't worry so much about symantics, just put out a nice quality product, with easily maintainable code, and you'll be fine.
