CHAPTER 56
Web service classes (Flash
Professional only)
The web service classes, which are found in the mx.services package, let you access web
services that use Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). This API is not the same as the
WebServiceConnector component API. The web service API is a set of classes that can you
use only in ActionScript code, and is common to various Macromedia products. In contrast,
the WebServiceConnector component is an API unique to Flash and provides an ActionScript
interface to the visual WebServiceConnector component.
The following table lists the classes in the mx.services package. These classes are closely
integrated, so when first learning about this package, you may want to read the information in
the order in which it is presented in the table.
