The gutted part has to do with error/fault handling mostly (I was confused), and also with removing some of the interface/implementation business, sorry, an). Other changes are:
  1. com.qbf.flex.util.xmlrpc.XmlRpcService class that kind of makes it easier to call things (that's what I use).
  2. A little progress bar is displayed, modally, while a request is executing (that's what I needed; you can certainly change it to not appear or not be modal)
  3. FakeResponse - for when you want to debug without running a back-end. I think it's pretty self-explanatory, so I haven't bothered with comments much (not that I have time anyway...)
  4. Handling for <NIL> and <STRUCT>, etc.

As I realized the error of my ways, I was going to clean it up quite a bit and post it sooner, but since others are asking, here it is. The whole thing is available at http://www.hrum.org/people/debedb/pro/ref#xmlrpc. It's LGPL because the original is LGPL.
