I just put together a list of useful web services I've found. If you don't
know how to use the Web Service connector component, please don't ask me to
explain it to you, though I do know how to use it, I suc at explaining
things...you'd just get confused The validation web services are not your usual validation services. The
email validators will not just check to see if the email is the right
format, but will find out if the email can actually receive mail, meaning
it's not just a made-up email. It also returns the company that provides
that persons email. The phone number validators will return the company that
provides the phone service and the general area of where that phone number
originates. For example, I gave it my phone number and it guess I was in
Denver, in reality I'm in Fort Collins which is north of Denver. Feel free to add more if you find them, I only put these up because they all
work, and because they were the most useful. Please make sure the web
services work before you post any others Enjoy! Eric Scientific Web Services http://www.webservicex.net/ConvertAc...tion.asmx?WSDL - Convert acceleration

Madgett! ): http://www.actionscript.org/forums/s...3&postcount=84 Open Source Web Services: My first web service...a Geo Locator service. Just install and run on your
server, which must have the ability to run ASP.NET files. Anyone with IIS
should be able to do it, Apache does not support ASP.NET as far as I know I will be hosting the web service on my server so your free to link to it,
but I would not count on that as being there forever. If I get a warning
saying I'm using too much bandwidth, I'll probably remove it...but your
free to use it until then Enjoy! Web Service link to be used in Flash:
