I hope nobody minds the non-Flex question here, though it does have to do with the Flash platform. Flashcoders is down still (over a week now), and the other Flash forums I know of suck. I have an enterprise application I built with Flash 8 and Actionscript 2.0 last spring. Has worked great since then. The application connects to Webservices in a .NET 1.1 server environment. As I understand it, our .NET 1.1 environment pushes out Webservice messages in either SOAP 1.1 or SOAP 1.0. Today, they were testing my Flash application in a .NET 2.0 environment and the Webservices stopped working/being connectable from my Flash app. I am assuming so because the Flash 8 Webservice classes were written for SOAP 1.1 or SOAP 1.0 specifications.
Our .NET developer was able to get .NET 2.0 to push out SOAP 1.1, but the application still won't connect to the Webservice, so I am thinking it must be looking for SOAP 1.0. The developer is trying to push our the SOAP as SOAP 1.0, but meanwhile, I would like to know: 1. Do the Webservice classes in Flash 8 only work with SOAP 1.0? What specs are they written for? 2. Does it appear to you that pushing our SOAP messages in SOAP 1.0 from .NET 2.0 is both possible, and a reasonable answer to the problem? 3. Has Adobe made any Webservice classes available for SOAP 1.1 or SOAP 1.2? 4. It seems with Flex 2/ Flash CS3 Webservices are connected to differently - what SOAP formats are supported? (that said, I would hate to have to rebuild this application in Actionscript 3.0, though I love Actionscript 3.0).
