the last dp/flex question that I'll ever ask (sure).

Let me clarify. Rule book states that..."or the DP may play defense for the Flex. In either case, the Flex will leave the game" (Fed 3-3-6f). So using my original scenario, DP comes in to pitch (Flex original position).Does Flex leave game when ORIGINAL defensive position is subbed for or CURRENT defensive position (F9 in this case) is subbed for?

Don't worry about the positions in the field. If the FLEX is playing defense, then FLEX is in the game. What the F (F9, F1, F3) doesn't matter.
DP did not come in for FLEX. DP came in for F1.
No player was substituted into the game for FLEX.
FLEX remains.
