function swapText(e:*):void{

}

But every time I tried to use it with an AIR app it would crash.

I then found http://manmachine-tech.blogspot.com/

but after days of frustration I found a critical bug:

In the WSProxy class there is a variable _busyOnCall = true; that gets set within callMethod()

and it gets set to false in onComplete()

but it NEVER GETS SET IN onFault

After that it’s all good. I hope this helps anyone in the same boat as myself.
