Using a web service in flash 9

Here is how to use a webservice SOAP push in flash 9 enjoy

Action script

import mx.services.WebService;
import mx.services.PendingCall;
/*
for testing puposes outside of a webserving ENV, use the following security parameter
*/

System.security.allowDomain("http://yourdomainhere");
var toNumberDial:String = "";

var ServiceResponse:String = "Ready Response";


/*

for final production server, set the above to the production path and uncomment the below and be sure to place the
path to the cross domain policy xml
*/
//System.security.loadPolicyFile("http://path-to/crossdomain.xml");


/*this set up is using the rare method but very effective webservice class of flash
the set up is very simple, at it inheirits netconnection and xml class for the soap exchange by default

/*
In this example the webservice gateway is established with two lines of code
*/
var sWSDURL:String = "http://yourwebservicehere";
var WebServiceGateway:WebService = new WebService(sWSDURL);

/*
A function is placed to send the values inputed in by user to establish the call;



/*
as a means of reporting the results, we assign the value of the response node to the DynamicText box variable
**this is also a means of telling the flash code with a swith modifier to play the action sequence when it is a success

*/
pcResponse.onResult = function(nResponse):Void {
_root.ServiceResponse = nResponse;
trace(nResponse);
};

}

WAP Support Blackberry Verizon 8830 -

In trouble shooting WAP CSS style sheet not rendering for a Blackberry 8830 world phone 2 conclusions were reached .

1. By default this phone ships with style sheets turned off (you can instruct the user to enable them) .

2. you need to embed the style in the tag ex. NOT TO USE table class="class name here" YOU SHOULD USE table style="style definition here".

WAP Definition -

Take for example the mobile device Blackberry 8300 (curve) User Agent of blackberry8300_ver1 . In the UA Profile of the user agent the XHTML level support is xhtml_support_level 3 as you can see below would support a nice looking WAP site.

Capability Name	Type	Description
xhtml_support_level	[-1 |..| 4]	Assuming the device supports some form of XHTML, this capability measures how reliably certain common designer features are supported, according to the following description: - level "-1": no XHTML support of any kind. Possible WML support Nokia 7110, 7210 as well as all UP.Browser 4 and 5 devices. - level "0" : basic XHTML Support. Minimum screen-width: 100 pixel No (or very unreliable) CSS support. Poor table support or none at all. Basic forms: text field, select-option, submit button. May not be able to support input mask on fields. Ex Device: SonyEricsson T610/T616 - level "1" : XHTML with some CSS support. Minimum sceen-width: 120 pixels. Hyperlinks may not be collorable by CSS. Basic table support: 2x2 or more. Colspan and rowspan may not be supported. "width" expressed as percentage may be unreliable. Ex Device: Sharp GX 10, Nokia 3650 - level "2" : Assume same capabilities as level "1", but may vary in the future. Ex Device: Nokia6600,Nokia5300 - level "3" : Excellent CSS support. Padding, border and margin are correctly applied. Can reliable apply colors to links, text and background. CSS graphic effects are pixel perfect Minimum sceen-width: 164 pixels. Can support complex tables (but not necessarily nested tables) up to 4 cells in a row. Not setting "font-size" produces a readable font. Supports background images also when applied through CSS. Generally running on 3G devices. Ex: Nokia Series 60 DP 3, Browsers: Openwave Mobile Browser 7, MS Mobile Explorer, recent BlackBerrys. Netfront 3.2, Safari (including iPhone), Sony PSP... (assuming high-bandwidth, Edge/UMTS/...) - level "4" : Level 3 + Ajax support. Toggle display property. XMLHTTPRequest(). InnerHTML()
