I am in the process of developing an admin tool for a D6 site in FlashBuilder using AMFPHP and services v2. Currently im using the views service to create a view to get all the data from a list of nodes to download to my admin tool to work with it and then using the node.save to update drupal.
However as of services 3 and D7 the views service no longer exists so im wondering how to futureproof the tool so that i dont have to do a full rewrite for D7 / Services 3.
I considered using the search.node service to do a search for all nodes of one type using keyword: TYPE:nodetype but it seems that i also have to include some actual string of text when using the search.
Can anyone recommend the proper way to download all nodes of 1 type (to say fill a datagrid in Flex) without using the views service module so that i can port the tool to D7/Services 3?

you could write a module
you could write a module yourself, since it shouldn't be too that hard to write a query that retrieves all nodes of a certain type and you could make it configurable.
downside would be that you won't have the flexibility of views.
there is a http://drupal.org/project/services_views project underway for services 3.
there is also a patch for D7 services 3: http://drupal.org/node/1135972 which you can try.
the services resources will come soon :)
good luck
Kind regards,
