You can use the SWX Service Explorer to explore server-side services on your development machine.

Use the SWX Service Explorer on the SWX Public Gateway to explore the publicly-available SWX APIs on swxformat.org. You can call these APIs directly from Flash without writing any server-side code or hosting your own SWX RPC gateway.

Why are my string values sometimes incorrectly interpreted as numbers in the SWX Service Explorer?

When entering string values for method arguments in the SWX Service Explorer, please enclose them in quotation marks, especially if they contain numbers. Otherwise, strings that start with numeric digits or are made up of a long sequence of numeric digits (such as IDs, etc.) will get interpreted as a number.

You can read more about this issue in the post titled Question: When's a string not a string.

This is a known issue and one that I will hopefully be addressing in the near future (post 1.0). In the meanwhile, to be on the safe side, please enclose all string values in the SWX Service Explorer in quotation marks.
