AMF provides better performance of data transmission between the client and server. It is a binary format that is sent over HTTP and it is native to the Flash Player. Your other alternatives are XML-based and ascii, so they are inherently slower.
You should check out this app by James Ward that demonstrates the capabilities of AMF vs other technologies. http://www.jamesward.com/census/

Answering myself a month or so later, apparently NetStream IS available in JavaScript AIR apps, even though it’s not part of the JS Language Reference.

Hope this formatting comes through:

var nc = new air.NetConnection();
nc.addEventListener(air.NetStatusEvent, function(e) {
if (e.info.code == ‘NetConnection.Connect.Success’) {
var ns = new runtime.flash.net.NetStream(nc);
ns.publish(‘myFilename’, ‘record’);
// don’t forget to close nc and ns when you’re done
}
});
nc.connect(‘rtmp://localhost/myService’);

What about a NetStream equivalent? I’ve been trying to find info about recording Microphone data, and every Flash example I’ve found attaches the NetConnection object to a NetStream object so you can send it to Flash Media Server.

NetStream doesn’t appear to be available according to the JavaScript Language Reference, do you know if there’s any way to record Microphone data either locally or send it to a server? I have an AMFPHP server available if it’s possible to send it there.
