Fabrice,
You would use Flash Remoting and ColdFusion MX to access the web service....
Using the flash sprite in director you would remote to coldFusion, it uses
the SOAP protocol to get stuff from the web service, and relays the info
back to flash using Remoting. Then flash would relay that back into
director... Kinda complicated, and as of now, I think it only supports CF...
Supposedly a version of the Remoting components were going to be released
for JDBC and PHP (for a nominal fee).
If you want to get around this stumbling-block, Alessandro Crugnola has
started reverse-engineering the AMF protocol that enables Flash Remoting for
PHP... If you feel like getting your hands dirty, and you want to use PHP,
this may be the way to go...
http://sourceforge.net/projects/amfphp
If you have the ability to take advantage of ColdFusion MX then here is an
example using just flash...

Here is another one that uses google's web service...

Hope that helps!

Can you do that in flash?
i know how to retrieve using the bytesloaded and bytestotal in flash
but thats always compare to itzelf,
how do you manage to use flash to record if something outside the swf
is being loaded...
also that flash could give you some usable information about the web
services... on the way getNetthing does report... Flash remote might do
that but...
i know it is a bit out of topic, but if you could dev a bit, show the
AS trick...

My first inclination is to use flash as an intermediary inside of
director... Let flash interact with the web services and when it is
done, it
can let director know so that director can take that information and do
stuff with it. There are some articles out there regarding the Flashcom
server and its integration into director, I would image integrating web
services wouldn't be terribly different. Also keep in mind that
DirectorMX's
new flash mx support allows it to create AS objects on the fly without
any
flash sprites present....may be helpful.

Subject: <lingo-l> Web Services
Hi all, I haven't been actively involved in the lingo list for some time now (although that is soon set to change). I was wanting to know if anyone on this list has had some experience using web services with director. If sodoyou know of any good resources for integrating and working with webservicesand director. Seems that Macromedia has heaps of documentation on web
services and flash but little (if not nothing) on web services and
director.Any assistance is greatly appreciated!Paul
