Can we edit mxml files using Domino Designer 8...?

Not sure what you have in mind, but MXML is based on the Flex SDK, hence Action Script. This can certainly not be edited as a design element in Lotus Notes.
The closest thing in Lotus Notes/Domino 8 are xPages. However, xPages are based on the currently supported Lotus Notes design elements. You can include include Java based components here (e.g. DOJO).
So on a Notes Designer level the answer must be NO.
If you had in mind to simply edit/modify MXML files using Lotus Notes as an XML editor you probably can, but it makes very little sense to me.
If your question related to how to launch a Flex application from a web-based Lotus Notes database, then the answer is to attach the .SWF (flash player) file created by Adobe Flex Builder to a document in the Notes database and add a link to it somewhere in your website.
The FlexViewer demo for instance is stored in the $about document of the web-service database required for the FlexViewer to read data from Domino databases. The $about document is set to launch the first attachment. So as soon you hit the web-service database it launches the FlexViewer (.SWF) for Domino, which in turn accesses the web-services in that same database to display the Notes data.
