I re-read your question and the answer is no you can not.
The reason is becuase Flex is event driven.
What you can do is add to the Application tag flag of:
creationComplete="init()"
and use inside the class:
public function init():void{
pageRO = new RemoteObject();
pageService = PageService.getInstance();
}
