CS3 really changed everything, IMO. Flash was decent on the Mac
version Flash 8 and earlier, but for whatever reason it still a bit
less polished than on Windows. CS3, on an Intel Mac, is spectacular.

It turns out that the "asynchronous" web service call actually takes

method. Subsequent calls to that method only take 1ms.

Aren't web service calls asynchronous, or am I missing something? I mean,
