I agree with Pete ,there is definitely a lot of wiring that is currently going in building the remote object. Also I am not a big fan of dynamic typing . I still think that code generation will solve both problems. I can understand the reluctance to use it, however I just can’t get past the dynamic typing issue though. Code generation will allow us to automatically create the wiring needed for the remote object as well as remove the dynamic typing.
I would love it if you made the faces messages agnostic! That would really reduce some of the code we had to create to integrate with messages and the lifecycle.
Venkat and I would love to see FlexBooking and documentation included into Seam examples at some point. If you guys could host the SVN there I think that would be a great idea, it will give us all a common spot to collaborate. Just give me the location and I will up load the project.
The booking application can be downloaded from www.rationaldeveloper.com/downloads/granite/FlexBooking.zip (Granite Version)
I included the granite seam code in the email, the whole project can be retrieved from the latest svn
http://granite.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/granite/graniteds/trunk/
I do have the blaze code available however there Is an issue with Flex 3 beta 3 and the way I am moving information back and forth. Sooo that means it's broken right now. ;)
Since James asked so nicely, Kunal and I started working on a maven-flex-plugin. We plan on supporting swf/swc compilation, maven dependencies, asdoc generation, and automatic FlexBuilder artifact generation (e.g. namespace mappings, flexlibproperties, actionscriptproperties).
After seeing Cameron's great presentation, we were also thinking about the facesMessages/dataModel, validation, and automatic conversation handling. We were also wondering if it makes sense to tie into Seam's Component Driven Events.
I believe Kunal has been investigating how to get Flex to play better with Seam Security.

To consolidate various discussions on Seam with Flex.
I liked the look of what Cameron had at JBW though there still seems
to be quite a lot of wiring stuff in there - Cameron and I discussed
this, and he thinks we can at least use code generation to help here.
We need to make facesMessages view layer agnostic so that it can work
with Wicket or Flex as well.
We are very happy to host this on SeamFramework.org, Seam SVN,
seam-dev@lists.jboss.org for discussions and Seam JIRA for issue
tracking if that works well for everyone. At least, I would love to
see an example distributed with Seam, and some documentation in the
reference manual.
Cameron, where can I download the booking application you were showing
off at JBossWorld? I want to look at your DataModel adaptor in
particular - see if we can't ease this integration some.
What do people thing?
