If you just received a copy of Flex 4 Gumbo like me you may have some issues getting something simple started. The following code shows how to make a simple remoteobject call inside flex builder 4. A couple gotchas that fooled me. First notice that you have to wrap your remoteobject call inside of the new declarations tag. Second you should notice that the MX namespace has been dropped for all components. This too took me a bit! 

Check out the ScreenCast and of course the code

					<p>Hello, Wade,</p>
<p>I have just recently begun to work with Flex RemoteObjects connected to a Zend Amf server, and I really like how smooth and easy everything gets, so I very much appreciate your work on this.</p>
<p>I just wanted to point out with regards to namespaces in MXML that you can define them as you please. If you’d like to stick with having mx: in front of your tag names, you can just rename the xmlns attribute in your Application tag to xmlns:mx.</p>
<p>Thanks again,</p>
<p>Karsten</p>
