Unfortunately not one that I know of. Generally to get a typed object on the server side, you will need a Flash Remoting Server sort of stuff (basically something that can deserialize that format in which the data was sent. So, if services like Amazon, Google don't have that running, it wouldn't be possible. The 'free' flex framework does not provide any such services and hence the requests/responses of HTTPService, WebService etc are all Strings (or XMLs). The RemoteObject comes with FDS (Flex Data Services) which is not free.
