I recommend reading "Head First Design Patterns".
The code examples are Java but the principles are universal and you get
to see how classes can be made to work effectively.
The Singleton pattern is one of the patterns discussed.
Very entertaining approach to a serious subject.
It will save you a lot of time and make your code much smaller and more
robust.

Others might disagree. :)
I've spent many hours trying to figure out how to do some seemingly
basic things in ARP and to be honest I'm still not 100% sure I'm doing
the "right" thing in places!
Do you know about singletons? To make your service(s) available to all
items in Flash it would be best to use it in a singleton pattern.

Well, the past 24 hours have been interesting to say the least. I've
never
really written a class, yet I know a lot about them and understand them
for
the most part. Before starting the project, I knew I was going to run
into
data access issues but didn't really have a solution. I'd never heard
of
mvc until yesterday so thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
I'm
confident I can start building classes using the mvc pattern, however, I
don't think I'm quite ready for something like ARP. I think I'd be
taking
on too much and our development resources are almost tapped. Or should
I
seriously reconsider using ARP, is it something I can easily implement
later once I'm more confident with classes?

Hi,
I would recommend ARP for this too. It's a bit tricky to use (at
first),
but it will keep your code clean for sure and save you a lot of time.
There's a remoting example that you could adjust quite easily.
As for the moviecliploader, I try to use a single class to do all my
loading. I guess that's what you mean by a "smart" loader.

Hi,
I would suggest looking at ARP or another Framework to handle your
Service calls through a single interface which you create services for.
It is well documented with examples and OS so you should be able
to
get the hang of it quite quickly.
