Pete and I discussed it the other day. He was working on getting it in soon, not sure if it will be method-for-method compatible but the goal is for it to provide the same functionality. I don't know what the status will be of connecting it to a legacy gateway though, that has not been an overriding concern of Flex 2.

Hi Peter, Any word on bug/feature request #154595? I've had a look in beta 1 and didn't see anything there but I could easily have missed something. Also I'm glad to see addHeader has returned to the NetConnection object even though I can't get it to pass credentials to a legacy CFMX remoting gateway yet. I filed a bug on that and related problems. Anyway if RecordSet or something similar that will be compatible with legacy apps has been added it would be great to know.
