[osflash] OT: Flash 8 webservice classes and SOAP versioning

[Merrill, Jason]

I need to clarify a sentence:

Today, they were testing my Flash application in a .NET 2.0 environment
and the Webservices stopped working/being connectable from my Flash app.
I am assuming it broke because the Flash 8 Webservice classes were
written for either SOAP 1.1 or SOAP 1.0 specifications (correct?)...and
.NET 2.0 pushes out the SOAP 1.2 specification.
