Is it possible to use HTTPService outside of MXML in an ActionScript
class? I have a very simple ActionScript project with the code:
[CODE]
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import mx.rpc.http.HTTPService;
public class HTTPServiceExample extends Sprite {
public function HTTPServiceExample() {
var service:HTTPService = new HTTPService();
}
}
}
[/CODE]
that I can't get to compile. Flex Builder reports the problem, "An
internal build error has occurred. Please check the Error Log.", and
when I check the log, I see:

Am I doing something wrong, or is Flex Builder? I see from
http://kuwamoto.org/2006/08/04/flex-tags-and-as-class-the-exceptions/
that HTTPService is a faceless component and "can only go at the root
level of a document", but I can't imagine you must use HTTPService in
the context of MXML. Any ideas on how to use an HTTPService from
ActionScript?
Also, I am including the "libs/rpc.swc" library.
Thanks.
