Alternatively you could create a .NET facade for the Exchange Server functionality you want to access from Flex and expose it as plain C# or VB.NET objects using WebORB for .NET. Your Flex client would access the exposed .NET destinations using RemoteObject. This approach would save you a lot of time and alleviate from messing with XML generation/parsing.
