Web Service Classes (Flash Professional Only) - MACROMEDIA FLASH MX 2004-USING COMPONENTS Use Manual

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 MX Professional 2004 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.

Making web service classes available at runtime (Flash Professional only)
In order to make the web service classes available at runtime, the WebServiceConnector
component must be in your FLA file's library. This component contains the runtime classes that
let you work with web services. For details on adding these classes to your FLA file, see
Chapter 14, "Data Integration (Flash Professional Only)," in Using Flash.
Note: These classes are automatically made available to your Flash document when you add a
WebServiceConnector component to your FLA.
