macromedia flash flash remoting : Flash remote calls and Performance testing with LoadRunner

Hi
I believe Mercury LoadRunner can not run flash plugin. Therefore, in an
application that ultilizes flash remoting calls to the servers, will they be
recorded correctly?
In another word, can we use Mecury LoadRunner for these flash applications
with remote calls? What's the way to go around it if this is not possible? A
suggestion is setting up a vuser that does the http call that flash would be
making. Is this feasible?

If I understand correctly, flash remoting uses AMF. SilkPerformer includes
support for AMF, but I have seen no indication that LoadRunner offers such
support. It should be possible to simply record and play back static AMF
requests to a server with LoadRunner and a variety of other tools, but the
trouble is you probably want to construct requests with randomized or
correlated data (for instance, a request that incorporates a session ID
returned in the response to a login request). Does anyone know of a load
testing tool other than SilkPerformer that provides this capability for AMF?
