Just minutes after posting my last message I received
another email
from Adobe confirming that engineering is working on fixes to all 3
bugs I've encountered while dealing with .NET web services. They've
assured me that they'll be fixed in the first update release for Flex
2 and possibly even sooner via a hotfix.
It really is encouraging to see Adobe's willingness and ability to
make improvements and ensure Flex is as rock solid as possible. Thanks
Adobe!
