I've actually been using Cairngorm (http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Cairngorm) as a micro-architecture for my apps. Once I have most of my "back-end" architecture in place, I simply create a Mock Business Delegate and populate the values in that class using my real DTOs. Once you know where the values are actually coming from, simply swap out your mock object with the real HTTPService/DataService,etc call.
