Flash Remoting for Microsoft .NET 145
The facade structural design pattern can be particularly useful with Flash Remoting by reducing
the number of remote method calls required in a Flash application. You can use a service facade to

network traffic and makes it easier to support different types of clients, change the enterprise data
model, or change the server implementation.
