You have a few options here. The first is to call flickr directly through XML-RPC using Flex. You could use plain old E4X for that, or you could use a wrapper library for it. Try it here:
http://www.hrum.org/people/debedb/pro/blog/2006/12/xmlrpc_in_flex_2actionscript_3_1.html As Renaun mentioned, you could also use REST services for Flickr, they work just as well. If I have a choice between REST and RPC, generally I'll choose RPC, but I don't know how good the library I just linked actually is. The third option is to use a "middle man", such as amfphp. In that case you could use the XML-RPC functions built into PHP, and just have amfphp resolve them. For example: <?php class FlickrService { function doCall($function, $args) { //For example, $function = "flickr.photos.getRecent" $apiKey = "YourAPIKey"; array_unshift($args, $apiKey); | $request = xmlrpc_encode_request($function, $args); $context = stream_context_create(array('http' => array( 'method' => "POST", 'header' => "Content-Type: text/xml", 'content' => $request ))); $file = file_get_contents("|http://api.flickr.com/services/xmlrpc/|", false, $context); $response = xmlrpc_decode($file); return $response; | } } ?> Then just use ro.doCall("flickr.photos.getRecent", []);, where ro is your RemoteObject instance. That might be slower than a direct call but then again, you don't have to store the API ky on the client (a bad idea).
