Question

I currently have a Java server that talks to a Flash client by passing JSON encoded data over a binary socket connection. Is there a way on either side to encode / decode packets as AMF instead of JSON? It seems to me that there should be some native support in Flash player for doing this? All the implementations I have found of AMF serialization seem to be embedded inside an application framework.

Simiarly so, does anyone know if it’s possible to decode AMF packets independently of a connection implementation in Flash?

You can use OpenAMF’s AMFDeserializer class,

You can also use the relevant classes in RED5 and BlazeDS.
