Using the Web Services panel
You can view a list of web services, refresh web services, and add or remove web services in the
Web Services panel (Window > Other Panels > Web Services). When you add a web service to
the Web Services panel, the web service is then available to any application you create. When
you drag a WebServiceConnector component onto the Stage and specify a value for the
WSDLURL parameter, that web service is automatically added to the Web Services panel.
You can use the Web Services panel to refresh all your web services at once by clicking the
Refresh Web Services button. If you are not using the Stage but instead are writing
ActionScript code for the connectivity layer of your application, you can use the Web Services
panel to manage your web services.
The following illustration shows the Web Services panel, to which several web services have
been added. A web service is represented by the planet icon, and its operations appear in
the tree.
To add, edit the name of, or remove a web service:
1.
Click Define Web Services (the planet icon at the top of the panel).
2.
To add a service, click Add Web Service, and enter the URL of the web service. Double-
click an existing web service to edit its name, or select a service and click Remove to
remove it.
If you want to edit a WebServiceConnector component's schema, you can edit it from the
Schema tab of the Component inspector.
Access to a web service (as with any external data) is subject to Flash Player security
features. For more information, see
