Well stone the crow! Macromedia has decided to release a Flash Remoting component set for MX2004 after all. Looks like Flash Remoting is back on the agenda -- let me just skulk back under my rock :)
"Developing Rich Internet Applications using Macromedia Flash MX and Macromedia Flash Remoting MX requires the addition of the Flash Remoting Components. The Flash Remoting Components extend the Macromedia Flash MX authoring environment, adding the ActionScript APIs needed to invoke remote services using Flash Remoting MX. Authoring tool extensions—such as the NetConnection Debugger, which enables developers to watch and trace events across both the client and server—are also included in the Flash Remoting Components, in addition to powerful recordset handling and databinding capabilities for handling dynamic data from relational databases."

Rumors in Germany are whispering that there had been some issues with the components pack so they had to postpone the release some days...;)

Spooky is a very good term for it, once I got past the smoke and mirrors that is...the most crucial part of "Rich Internet Application" framework and they just forgot to mention it for a few days post-release ?

Joey Lott has done some work towards converting the code for Remoting into AS2 classes here: http://www.person13.com/flashremoting/
