Kelly,
As Matt observed, I'm using a single AS class (Cairngorm ServiceLocator) for webservice calls. It's based on Jeff Tapper's DataManager class:
http://jeff.mxdj.com/as3datamanagerfix.htm
I changed the logic to get the wsdl, when the application loads, to cut a few seconds off of the initial data call. It appears that once the wsdl is loaded, the webservice doesn't request it again for subsequent calls. If all of your calls are to the same webservice, there would only be one request for the wsdl. This would address your client's concern about network traffic.
-TH
Note: You don't have to use AS. The same thing can be done with mxml.
