Yep.
You know, I almost included the bit about e4x the first time but
decided against it. For that you simply do op.resultFormat = "e4x";
Flex handles the serialization of your objects for you, so you just
put the arguments your method requires onto the arguments property. So
if your remote method's signature is: doCoolStuff(name:String,
age:Number, hobbies:Array), you would use the following code in Flex:
op.arguments.name = "Bob Cratchett";
op.arguments.age = 34;
op.arguments.hobbies = new Array("working", "playing with Tim", "etc");
HTH, let me know if you have additional questions.
