That was my first thought Andrew, but I couldn't find the API to ovverride. Anyways, at the end of the day, embedding wsdl isn't generally a good idea. If you make a change to a webservice operation on the server side, you would have to re-compile and re- deploy every Flex application that uses it. Otherwise the applications would break. There goes the encapsulation. The extra second or two needed to get the wsdl dynamically is acceptable overhead if webservices is the chosen RPC.
