First of all I don't know if this is the right section to post, please move the thread if necessary.
In my project, I want to insert, modify and delete nodes from a Flash movie, so I think the WebService approach is the one which suits better. If not, please tell me, because I'm a newbie with umbraco (also a PHP guy into a .NET world).
So I've enabled webservices in umbracoSettings.config, downloaded the corresponding dll file from another thread (because it was missing in the initial umbraco download) and now I can browse the /umbraco/webservices/api/DocumentService.asmx file correctly.
Now when I make a call to /umbraco/webservices/api/DocumentService.asmx/UserHasAccess with the username and password parameters, it returns true. But when I try with other methods like create or update, it's giving me a System.InvalidOperationException: Web service method name is not validerror.
Strange that the 'create' and 'update' doesn't work. Do you know if any of the other web-service methods work? e.g. 'UserAuthenticates', 'read' or 'readList'?
I've tried all methods with the following result (now just browsing, not making POST calls):
UserAuthenticates: gives the error.
UserHasAccess: missing username parameter.
WebservicesEnabled: returns true.
read: missing id parameter.
readList: missing parentid parameter.
delete: missing id parameter.
update: gives the error.
create: gives the error.
The IIS site for this is using .NET version 2.0.50727. Maybe the error is because of this, but I have another umbraco installed in my own machine also, running .NET 4.0 and is giving me the error with every method of the webservice.
Please note that I'm not a .NET expert and it could be a newbie mistake by my side, so consider all weird possibilities :D

Any help with this?
By the way, I am running umbraco 4.5.2
