You can send any type of data as the body of a message. If you want to send an instance of a typed class, be sure to include [RemoteClass(alias="your.java.Class")] metadata in your ActionScript class so that the Player serializes it with type info and the server can deserialize it to your desired type.

Up til now I've been using messaging. But as far as I can tell, I can only send strings this way. What other alternatives are there? For instance, I would like to be able to send an array or a custom data structure. I'm using Java for the backend. Ideally I would not want to launch a new RemoteObject for each send from Flex, but instead have a persistent listener to hear all requests (which is why I initially chose messaging and created a channel for the java message manager to listen to).
