Nice stuff Renaun! A couple things: in the mx:RemoteObject tag you could declare an mx:method and have result and fault bound to the method and not to the service itself. Why are you using ArrayUtil.toArray in the complex example? Finally, in the BookVO class you don't need to import flash.net.registerClassAlias, [RemoteClass] does the job by itself.
