You use connector components to communicate with an external data source. Connector components contain specialized funtionality for working with a specific data source. Flash MX Professional 2004 includes the WebServiceConnector component, which enables you to connect to a web service, and the XMLConnector component, which enables you to connect to any external data source that returns XML through HTTP (such as JSP, ASP, Servlet, or ColdFusion). Connector components are used to obtain data from the server as well as send update packets back to the server. A typical screen in an application might contain several connector components for retrieving or updating data, or both.
The XMLConnector and WebServiceConnector components have no visual appearance in the runtime application. Advanced developers can build additional connector components as needed. For more information, see Creating Components.
