I created a page in the wiki to hold this discussion :

Hey Shaun,
Do you have a blog or any articles on how you approached this?

Hi,
I have been using flex with WO for about 8-10 months now, building
a new UI for new section of an existing app at the moment.
Basically, the approach I have taken is using flex HTTPService
calls to direct actions that return XML.
The direct actions generate XML using some custom xml generation
classes that make use of key value coding to inspect EOEntities,
EOAttributes etc. but i digress...
Having the result format set to "array" in Flex makes building a
object graph on the client-side pretty painless. I've also built a
EOGenerator style script to generate Actionscript classes for the
client side based on EOModel attributes, which makes things a bit
easier.
I wanted to look into make LiveCycle Data services work with WO
but its not supported on OSX at the moment and there have been way
too many cool new things to get stuck into with Flex2/3 and AIR
(beta) to bother, and they approach I've used so far works great.
I dont think I'll bother building anymore WO UI's from now on. The
flex stuff is WAY too nice. For me, WOComponent &
WODynamicElements died (RIP) about 8 or 9 months ago..
IMO flex is the future of rich UI web applications. AJAX, HTML, no
thanks.

I'm looking at Flex 2 right now, and I was wondering if any of
you is playing with this tech and if you are trying to integrate
it with WO ?
I guess I need to create a WO implementation of AMF3 so that
data exchange is easier than using SOAP :-)
