The latest version of Zend Amf in the incubator has full support for type mapping of objects. Check out this screen cast, now w/ audio, that shows the there different ways that you can set the return type of an object when it comes back to flex. Thanks Kevin for the PHP classes for the example!

If you have tried to work with the files in the incubator please update them as Class Mapping was not included in the last checkin.

Congratulations to Shaun Smith for pointing out the last serialization bug in the Zend_Amf code base. This morning at ZendCon_08 I was able to find this bug and get it fixed and checked into the incubator.
So there is an As3 data type for As3_Bool_true and AS3_Bool_false. Interesting to have two meta data tags to define the second value that can only be of two types. Of course how could I have missed that!
If you are a flash/Flex developer at ZendCon make sure you come talk to me during the conference. I have already ran into a buddy of mine Robert Taylor that I have not seen for two years. It was great to catch up and I am sure that we will spend some more time together. Join us!
Also I am twittering so follow me. I just started using twitter this weekend for this conference. I have found that it’s purpose is for those that can’t figure out how to get IRC to work.

Flex data types are round tripped to an PHP class where there native type is manipulated. This program was written to help me test all the different AMF3 data types and how they will be sent to and received from PHP. Check out the video to see almost all data types round tripping. Be the first to post what data type didn’t work and still needs to be fixed before Zend Amf is ready and win a copy of the Essential Guide To Open Source Flash

updated features
RemoteObject now works with AS3 connections to Zend_Amf enabling Flex to take full advantage of the Zend Framework. Check out the video to see a simple example. I have to get back to work on additional features and possibly even my presentation!

I have upload a screen cast of some of the stuff that I am doing with Zend Amf. Next week I will be at ZendCon talking about how to leverage Flex w/ the Zend framework. Nothing fancy but at least you get the idea of what I have been up to! See you next week and I will try and have another video up tomorrow night if anyone is actually interested.

The first byte of an AMF envelope actually does have a meaning. I was able to email with Peter Farland from Adobe tonight as I was finishing up some code rework for Zend_AMF and he explained that the first two bytes are actually one value and read as an unsigned short integer. I have updated the documentation on OSFlash. Lets see how long it takes for every opensource AMF implementation to not have code that says something like this in AMFPHP:
$topByte = $this->readByte(); // ignore the first two bytes -- version or something
$secondByte = $this->readByte(); //0 for Flash 8, 1 for FlashComm, 3 for flash player 9
