Follows Webservices, simple introduction.

In Flex 3 requesting data is really simple, since you really have to load a well know url which prints out XML (or JSON or whatever).

I assume you have read the introduction, here we are with a url that prints out informations about Cher’s top fans:

http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/?method=artist.gettopfans&artist=cher&api_key=xxxxxxxxxxxx

What we have to do is load that url with a mx:HTTPService Object and parse the result as XML. Simple, it isn’t?

First: create the HTTPService object:

and the handlers

And oplà, in the data field you will have the returned xml, ready to be shown in your preferred component!
