I have been asked to write my first web service to extract a number of records from an access database.
Creating a web service which extracts records isn't a problem but if the client application is a flash site then how can it make use of the dataset from the web service.
Does Flash support .net ?
Yes, but not in the way you want to use it. .Net can render out OBJECT tags to a client browser, in which flash directives for the Flash plugin live. But, you don't want that. You want to get information from a .Net webservice (could be a Java webservice).
To do that, you need to use SOAP.
Flash supports XML documents though and that's all that is needed to communicate with a SOAP protocol like a .Net webservice.
