The answer to your question is - you can consume any web service. I
reccommend you look into fluorine for a web service that will actually
convert c#.net classes into AMF3 objects returned from the web service call.
Certain objects do not have a direct AMF representation - your dataset class
is probably an example, unless it is just a class that contains a few
members that are representable within AMF such as strings, arrays of
strings, and so on.

create a new message - otherwise some e-mail clients will mix up
threads and the unchanged subject will be totally confusing, too)

Flex applications are able to use web services, as any Flash
application can use them. See the docs for details:
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/docs/00001095.html
Flex Data Services is a big addition of course, but it is not always
required - if the simple request-response method is enough for you and
don't need proxying or other sophisticated server-side things, then
you can go without FDS. And even if you need it, the single-CPU Flex
Data Services 2 Express Edition is totally free.
