It's Flex'O Mania

Recently I was working on a webservice application in Flex and had a real tough time with it. The webservice was not getting resolved and I was continuously slapped with a ‘WSDL.BadElement’ error. I was clueless, as the same webservice was working nicely with SAP Netweaver Visual Composer. This meant that there was some problem with Flex. While Googling for a solution I came across Flex 2.0.1 Hotfix 3. I quickly downloaded it and followed the steps for its installation as mentioned on the web site.
Darn!! The error was gone and my application was running smoothly. Thanks to Hotfix 3

Adobe Flex 2.0.1 Hotfix 3 is really handy when your Flex application is not able to resolve a webservice call. Typically, you get errors like faultString = ‘WSDL.BadElement’ or ‘element not resolvable’ or sometimes flash player doesn’t return any runtime errors. At this point try installing Adobe Flex 2.0.1 Hotfix 3 on Flex builder 2 and it will resolve these problems.

One more interesting finding when I tried to call the same webservice with Flex Builder 3; it was not giving me ‘BadElement’ error. Cool!! It means that Adobe has resolved all the major issues in Flex 2 and is ready with Flex Builder 3.
