How about HTTPRequest? Doesn't it actually use URLLoader underneath, but is optimized for RPC data transport?

I've got a backend server running Apache Tomcat and I've got the ability through our CMS to dynamically create gateways, and use an AJAX API to get information from them. I've never used AJAX and I'm pretty new to Flex, so the question is how can I make the same type of call that an XMLHTTPRequest is making in Javascript, but rather do it in Flex? I really have no care for Javascript ... and see no need to use it unless I absolutely have to. I'd rather keep all my communication within Flex/Flash. Maybe I'm overlooking something pretty obvious, but any pointers would be appreciated. thanks! jon
