CHAPTER 25
Data Integration: Using XML for a
Timesheet (Flash Professional Only)
This tutorial shows you how to create an application for editing timesheet
data. The timesheet data is stored as XML within a native XML database.
The XUpdateResolver component is the best choice for this type of
application, because it generates XUpdate statements that can be sent to
the server to update the data.

This tutorial uses a public web service and therefore requires that you have
an Internet connection. In addition, the tutorial won't work in a browser
because of sandbox restrictions, but will work in the Flash authoring
environment or the stand-alone Flash Player.
The use of a public web service in this tutorial does not imply that you
should use one for real-world applications. In fact, Macromedia does not
recommend using public web services directly from within any client-side
application. For more information, see
