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...

Just thought you'd wanna know...
Couldn't you just pull the webservice classes from the free Flex 2.0 sdk and add them to your flash class path?
Krusty - Thanks for posting that link! So it looks like we'll all be able to address this issue shortly (meaning a month or 2 I guess)

Ethan - As far as pulling in the class from Flex, I did not think to do this since I have not played around with Flex, but hey, its worth the shot.
I think more than anything pure flash developers were like *WTF* when they installed and saw no support or mention of WS Classes.
I found a method to use the Adobe Flex classes within Flash CS3, check out my post:
