Yep, so AMF is the serialization protocol so you'll find it in several
messaging patterns get/post, remoting objects, messaging and streaming.
As a flex developer, you will usually always want to use AMF for
performance (bare in mind it does nothing for security). James Ward has
a benchmark app to better explain the performance of the various
protocols such as SOAP, AMF, JSON, etc. It's at
http://www.jamesward.com/census/
So normally you can hook your browser to Charles so you can read the AMF
packets from a flash or flex app. The problem with AIR is that it's a
standalone app which isn't contain inside of a browser. On windows you
simply hook Charles to the network monitoring service, and Linux will be
something similar.

OK, I see. Charles lets you parse the AMF packets details. AMF still does
Get/Post from what I understand. But data is in a bandwidth saving binary
protocol.
However explain the following quote

I've never done AIR before but I assume it is the difference between developing
Java apps versus Java applets. However what I dont understand what do you mean
by the 'OS level network system' and how is that different from using Flex's
equivalent.
In Flex I have a Flex/Rails project that originally used Soap. Now we use AMF
and when talking to legacy (pre web) server apps we use Binary Sockets.
