Flash Player does most of that for you. When the SWF does an RPC to  
amf_controller, you define a responder: when the response arrives, it  
calls the onResult method of the responder.

Have a look at
http://trac.openstreetmap.org/browser/applications/editors/potlatch/ 
potlatch.as#L626

That's the OSMWay.load method and as you'll see it's essentially just  
a call to getway.

No problem, just tell me what the new methods are called and what  
they expect. At present you have:

- putway (create if id negative, update if id positive)
- deleteway
- putpoi (create/update/delete)
