Flex Viewer 3.0 Basemap widget with broken link

[NOLITALAVOIE]

Starting Thursday, December 13, 2012, all my Flex Viewer 3.0 web maps that utilize the addarcgisbasemaps="true" function receive the error:

"Imagery with Labels layer failed to load: Fault code: 400
Fault info: Unable to complete operation.
Fault details: Service 'World_Imagery' of type 'MapServer' does not exist or is inaccessible."

Although the web map will still work if you 'x' out of the error screen, it still causes people to call and ask why their map is not working. Not good from the IT point of view.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

NOLITA,

   Even esri has problem with their servers every once in a while. The issue seems to be resolved now (10:30 am CST).

Wallace,

   It must be going up and down then as it was working for me a minute ago.

Robert,

I'm checking this for a while (like 3 hours or so) and always got this error. Maybe this problem is only happening in some servers (if they are on a load balance mechanism).

Good news! Everything is fine now. Can you check too?

Wallace,

   Yep back up again.
