It's possible and common. My opinion is use <xml/>. Why mess with all that other junk (I've never liked AMF)? Database > Web Service > XML > Flash or in reverse for whatever purpose. You can create a node like class that extends movieclip with xml functionality which knows about it's children and passes the xml on to them for them to parse and initialize their children, and their childrens children if that makes sense.

Have a look at Wallop - it is a Flash based system like what you are talking about. I have played a little, but it has an API which allows you to talk to the system and find out about the social network, etc. I have sent you an invite - you don't have to use it if you don't want, but it's there.
