[osflash] WSDL to ActionScript

[Aral Balkan]

Hi Claus,

How would you implement this in a Flash client when accessing a third- 
party web service for which you pay x amount per request?

Flash Remoting is not more secure and that's why you would never hard- 
code your username/password in the Flash client when using any  
technology. In consuming third-party web services from the client,  
however, you have to the equivalent of this. Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Aral
