[osflash] WSDL to ActionScript

[jtgxbass]

Some SOAP plus points:
1) Every method implemented is well documented in the WSDL
2) The component implementing the SOAP methods can validate the requests
easily against the WSDL
3) The component that calls the SOAP methods has a well defined (via the
WSDL again) way to serialize/deserialize into its native language


Aral's points still stand, its just there are plenty of good situations to
use SOAP too.
