This is not Web Services 101. This is not an introduction to Flash. This is not art. This is not a love song. Now that that's out the way, be prepared to bind data like there's no tomorrow.
In this article I'm going to show you three different ways to consume a Web service and some of the pros and cons of each approach. When you're done reading you should have an understanding of what data binding is, how to use it in your applications, and how to achieve similar results without using it.
Unfortunately for some, Flash Professional is required to follow along with the examples. If you haven't upgraded Flash to the Professional version yet, taking advantage of the Web service integration and data binding might just be a good enough reason to. Don't forget about the trial version available as well...
