I have written a set of web services in php that I use in Flex. I have added an authorization field as a parameter in each web service.

The parameters in the authorization involve hashing and salting etc... and that all works securely but the process involves flex using a key which it needs to store to use for each request.

Is there a way to store a small piece of data securely in Flex so that someone trying to de-compile the code won't see it?

There is no way to store a security key inside the SWF and prevent anyone to stole it.
