Thanks a lot, Jacob, for pointing out this possibility! I’ve been messing with as3 zip implementations, FAR FlashArchive etc. just to be able to loading bunches of aggregated files – this way it should be possible to replace these with my own custom AMF formats.
Used in combination with Robert Taylors HttpAmf solution, this should be really slick… :-)

I considered using AMF as the format for levels in one of my Flash games, but I decided that if I wanted to port to another platform in the future, it could be difficult to reuse those files. Still, it’s a tempting prospect.
