Hi Alex,

I already contact James and he said:

" Feel free to take anything you want from that code.  :)"

regarding IE8 vx AMF.... that's no color! hehe I'll be dropping IE8 right
now! ;)

As I said IMO Flex is more about AMF than a concrete browser (more if we
're talking about IE8), is huge benefit for our use base to be able to deal
with a RemoteObject JS implementation that loose that concrete version of
MS IE.
