Yes, it does take a while to figure it out. One day, I am going to have to write a tutorial ;-} A value object (Or Data Transfer Object) is just that. Flex and the server side code serialize the data and send it in a binary format. As each platform is different it would not make sense to serialize methods. The best idea I have found is to create a class that has a VO as one of it's members. Then you have all of the methods in this class.
