balib-2.2 incompatible with agslib-3.0?

[MichaelDoolen]

To my knowledge the latest Business Analyst Library version is 2.2, dated Dec2011.  When using this library with the ArcGIS API for Flex, version 3.0, I get the following runtime error.

ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable com.esri.ags.utils::JSON is not defined.
 at com.esri.baserver.tasks::BAServerTaskUtils$/addOutputGeometryParameters()
 at com.esri.baserver.tasks.tradeareas::TradeAreaTaskParameters/toURLVariables()

 at com.esri.baserver.tasks::BAServerTask/prepareURLVariables()
 at com.esri.bacore.client::BATask/send()
 at com.esri.baserver.tasks.tradeareas::SimpleRingsTask/execute()

The balib is referencing a JSON class that does not exist in 3.0.  Is there a newer version of the balib that references JSONUtil rather than JSON?

Also, out of curiousity, why not use the AS3 JSON class?

Thanks!

I've implemented a temporary workaround here.

This solution works too...
