Hello Jennifer! I think that answers my question -
I am familiar with 1.5 (although a little rusty, since I went back to coding Flash Apps for the last 2 years) - but I distinctly remember writing simple Flex 1.5 Apps that would use the RemoteObject stuff. So if the Remoting in Flex 1.5 is synonymous with Flex 2.0, then I am in pretty good shape. I am just a HUGE fan of AMF - especially since the data is sent in Binary, rather than bloated XML (not to mention all those funky characters that I have to avoid sending, embedded in the data packets). My primary Flex 1.5 app I wrote, managed thousands of Employment Resumes - so you can imagine the pure magnitude of Data and unusual characters that I had to send/receive to the server. I ran into tons of problems, because of illegal characters that were being sent in the data stream (when I used the XML method). Remoting was my Godsend. Do you think you could take this opportunity to explain to me, the finer differences between the 2 different Remoting flavors? Also, why I should seriously consider shelling out the money, to purchase the "more robust version" of the Remoting add-ons (or why not, for that matter). You mentioned "the new Messaging System"? Is this another add-on, mainly for the purposes of making Flex a more "robust" application development environment? Kind of like taking this to the next level so Flex can compete with the "big boys", and to be taken seriously as a major contender in the corporate arena? Hopefully I worded that well enough :) Thanks!! and I appreciate your help on this topic (seriously, I do thank you).

The new messaging system is not included in that version. Does that answer the question?
