ActionScript does not inherently have this. The Flex Framework is primarily a UI Framework and does not have any of this built in. There is no reason why you can't build your own service layer / DAO. Usually in Flex applications; I have a set of service classes [and/or Value Objects/Beans/Data Objects] that communicate with a server side backend.

There are a lot of frameworks out there that can help facilitate this in various ways. Swiz, RobotLegs, PureMVC, Parsley, and Mate are some. Cairngorm is an older one and has fallen out of favor due to its perceived complexity.
