Problem extending mx:WebService

Question

This simple program gets a syntax error. If I replace
WebService with lots of other class names, for example mx:VBox,
it's OK. The error just says "Parse error at
'<mx:WebService>'." Is there some rule that you can't extend
a web service? Thanks.

this is one way i've done it in the past...its not pretty but
at that point i wasn't really strong enough in my flex ways. since
then i've actually strayed away from coldfusion and gone on to
php/httpservices for speed.
this way you can add all the webservices to one component. i
haven't tried using a class just for the fact that it got a little
tricky dynamically calling webservices. but i dont see why it would
be a problem for parse errors. is there something that you need to
do to that isn't normally in the webservice component?
