WebService Wierdness

Question

I have a WebService instance created via ActionScript. If I
call an operation on the WebService immediately after the WSDL is
loaded the operation will fail with the error "not
resolvable...WSDL.BadElement. However if I put a delay of 100
milliseconds in, the operation will succeed. Any suggestions? See
the code below:
public function newService():void
this._service = new mx.rpc.soap.WebService();
this._service.useProxy = false;
this._service.wsdl = kWSDLUrl;
this._service.addEventListener(LoadEvent.LOAD,
onWsdlLoaded);
this._service.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT, onFault);
this._service.loadWSDL();
public function onWsdlLoaded(event:LoadEvent):void
var service:WebService = this._service;
function _delay():void
service.doSomething();
// This will fail
service.doSomething();
// However this will succeed
setTimeout(_delay, 100);
public function onFault(event:FaultEvent):void
if(null != event.fault) Alert.show(event.fault.message);

Timing issues are pretty common when working with the Flash
Player. the "callLater()" function is often a better solution that
setInterval or timer.
I would not have expected such a problem with your code, but
what do I know? maybe someone else will be more help.
