Flex remoting and progress events?

Is there a way to monitor the loading progress (percent progress bar style) when using Flex remoting?

I'm trying out Flas开发者_StackOverflow社区h Builder 4 with it's new data services features, but I can't find any pgrogress event stuff somewhere. This article by Robert Taylor http://www.roboncode.com/articles/144 indicates that it might not be possible...

No you can not do that..when calling a remote method you launch an HTTP POST call containing the AMF message (serialized input parameters and the destination/method name) and on response you receive the AMF response. There is no way to tell you the progress and the workaround implies a lot of work (you will have to create a socket and build your mini protocol on top of AMF).
