Wow, thanks for that post. Excellent information. That's a huge blow. So basically when it comes to Flash CS3 with AS3 all of us who have been using Webservices classes in Flash and want to keep doing so have only a few choices:
1) Learn Flex instead and try and make what you want to do in Flash in Flex. 2) Keep using Flash 8. 3) Try and do something entirely different with the NetConnection class (and it sounds much more difficult than it was previously due to the other missing data classes and debuggers, and you can't utilize Webservices with that can you? We have a huge set of WSDLs written in C# that would be un-usable if they were not modified). Same with Tree components and all the others previously mentioned. This is a major major major misstep in my opinion. In fact, a step BACK - I would GLADLY trade some of the new features like the Photoshop integration (is it really that big of a deal? I think it's cool, but it sounds like an Adobe-culture business goal instead of a genuine good use of a Flash team developer's time) or copy-paste animation for the missing Webservice classes and/or the others. AS3 is a very exciting new form of the language I've been anxious to start using. Too bad it can only be fully enjoyed in the Flex environment. I hope they are planning to update Flash CS3 with some of the missing classes and components soon.
