Ryan, can I daydream a little about the upcoming AMF treasures?

1. AMF 4.0 will be able to serialize/deserialize Display Objects as well as it can do so on regular data types. It can become very useful feature: imagine you made a cool flash mapping application. Each time user leaves the map, application saves its visual state in the Local Shared Object as set of AMF’ed Sprites; next time user launches the map, it restores its look directly from Local Flash Cookies, just in moment.

2. Adobe will release the Official Flash Remoting for Flash CS3. Now we can use it by engaging NetConnection class but it needs a bit of hacking, and there’s no docs for regular flash developer, who just wants to use Flash Remoting with Fluorine for .NET or AMFPHP.

3. The new AMF class (ByteArray extension), which provides the extra methods for getting additional info about AMF-ed data: its structure, objects data types etc.

Hmm… my imagination is too poor, I can’t produce more AMF news at the moment. I know, real AMF update will overcome my modest thoughts
