I can speak to the JSON stuff
I've done it with HttpRequrest and then used, com.adobe.serialization.json
(it's included in the AS3 corelib:
http://code.google.com/p/as3corelib) to de-serialize the
JSON data.  It's how we did it at Snapvine, all of our widgets run on
Restful JSON.

Take this URL for example:
http://www.snapvine.com/api/get_voice_drop/fbaf301c7a4f11dd9e130030485b0f88

Worked great for us.
