We've accomplished a pretty huge project using amfphp and flash. I have 
often thought about making an amfphp-extension for typo3, but have not 
had the time yet.
Basically one wants a couple of relevant functions to be accessible via 
flash remoting (maybe like get_tree(), get_content_element(), ...).
It should not be too hard a task to achieve this. If you want to try 
coding it, I can at least give you some amfphp example code (and some 
pitfalls).
I would definitely prefer this approach over all the xml-parsing-stuff!
It's much cleaner and -no parsing required- much faster on client-side.

Cheers,
Dan.
