Yes, FB4 will definitely like this approach. In fact, if you're using ColdFusion as the back end, you can use the wizards in FB4 and CFB (which is bundled with FB4) to generate both the server-side (CF) and client-side (AS3) value object representations by just right-clicking on the database table you want to represent. In addition to the value objects, you'll also get a gateway object in charge of translating the value objects to database rows and vice-versa. Then, using the Data/Services tab, you can generate the service calls to fetch the value objects and you can generate bindings between the value objects and the UI components you use to display them.
