Where is the Web Services Support in Flash CS3?

I have been looking for an answer to this question, just as many others in the flash community, that rely on web services for a majority of their projects.

I was so excited by the new CS3 Upgrade (still am) - but this is the one thing that keeps me from making the full switch from Flash 8 since 90% of my projects connect to web services.

Love the E4X, love the new components, love the AS3, but not loving the missing web services API.

Is Adobe going to release an upgrade to address this? Is someone writing some classes to handle this? Are we left to other devices such as Midnight Coder's WebORB or Flex to handle this?

Below are some links from the Adobe Forums, so I know it's not just me that needs this back in Flash CS3!

Can anyone from the development community shed some light on this issue?

Thanks for reading...
