AOL has finally opened up their AIM network so no more hacking or workarounds will be necessary. AIM-enabled Flash apps will be a lot easier to develop now. AIR + AIM = ARM.

I am a professional Flash developer with over 13 years of programming experience. I have consulted for high-profile agencies and companies in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Atlanta and New York, and developed numerous award-winning websites and rich internet applications for clients including Adobe, Fox Sports, FX Networks, Anheuser-Busch, GE, DirecTV, ESPN, The Weather Channel, Home Depot, and Coca-Cola.
I am the author of the open-source Gaia Framework for Adobe Flash, which dramatically reduces development time and makes developing Flash sites much easier.
