If you were flying AA to connect to CX, then yes you can use Flagship Check-in because AA will have access to AA and connecting CX flight as the Sabre PNR will contain both segments.
Now if you are referring to checking in to a ex-JFK CX F flight plated by AA (ticket begins with 001), then yeah, you might be able to technically pull it off. But if it was a ex-JFK non-AA issued ticket, good luck.
Contrary to AA published policy.
