| | |
| | In this module, you will learn how to build several applications that retrieve shipping data in both XML and plain text format based on user-supplied information. To build this application you will use Flex Builder, pre-built Flex components, and the Flex HTTP service. |
| | |
 | | The resources in this module are organized in order from least detail to most detail, with the last section pointing you to additional resources. |
| | |
| | In this module you will create two applications using HTTPService that retrieve two types of data: |
| | * Plain text |
| | * XML |
| | You will retrieve both types of data from ColdFusion, PHP, Java and ASP.NET servers. |

| | h3. Try two versions of the running Shipping Costs Application |
| | The rest of this page features two running versions of the Shipping Costs application. Try them out; _they are not screen shots._ |
| | |
| | h4. The plain text sample application |
| | |
| | The following application shows an embedded application created using Flex Builder. Type a 5-digit zip code, like 80401, and a shipping weight, like 3, into the text boxes and click the Get Shipping Options button to retrieve and display the plain text data in a text box. |

| | h4. The XML sample application |
| | |
| | The following application shows an embedded application created using Flex Builder. Type a 5-digit zip code, like 80401, and a shipping weight, like 3, into the text boxes and click the Get Shipping Options button to retrieve and display the XML data in a grid. |
