Webserviceconnector Component (Flash Professional Only) - MACROMEDIA FLASH MX 2004-USING COMPONENTS Use Manual

WebServiceConnector component (Flash Professional only)

The WebServiceConnector component lets you access remote methods exposed by a server using
the industry-standard Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). A web service method may accept
parameters and return a result. Using the Flash MX Professional 2004 authoring tool and the
WebServiceConnector component you can inspect, access, and bind data between a remote web
service and your Flash application.
A single instance of a WebServiceConnector component can be used to make multiple calls to the
same operation. You need to use a different instance of WebServiceConnector for each different
operation you want to call.
Note: The WebServiceConnector component appears on the Stage during application authoring but
is not visible in the runtime application.
For introductory information on working with the results of this component, see "Working with
schemas in the Schema tab (Flash Professional only)" in Using Flash.
Using the WebServiceConnector component (Flash Professional only)
You can use the WebServiceConnector component to connect to a web service and make the
properties of the web service available for binding to properties of UI components in your
application. To connect to a web service, you must first enter the URL for the WSDL file that
represents the web service. You can enter this URL in the Component inspector or the Web
Services panel. See "Connecting to web services with the WebService connector component
(Flash Professional only)" in Using Flash.
For more information on connecting to web services, see "Data binding (Flash Professional
only)"in Using Flash.
