There already is a dissector: RTMPT

Dissectors don't write stuff to files, they just dissect packets and construct a tree of fields and subfields. Other parts of Wireshark can write stuff to files, including a "printed-out" version of that tree.

If a Wireshark dissector is dissecting an AMF packet, the packet is already in a file - the file that Wireshark read.

What exactly do you want to do here?

And if you want to write AMF objects to a file, then you'll need to implement a tap. So what do you want to do?
