Craig - Have a look at the Macromedia documentation here: http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash_remoting/documentation.html
It should explain the process fully. Otherwise, you can try our sister list - fugli (flash user group list) at: http://lists.daemon.com.au/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=fugli Hope that helps you out.
