How to connect to a web service??

Question

I am banging my head on how to produce the appropriate code
to connect to a
web service I created locally.
I have a local web service:
http://localhost:8500/cfc/getprojects.cfc?wsdl
I am trying to figure out how to write a correct
<mx:WebService> to connect
to it so I can go on and bang my head on how to then bind the
results to
Labels.
I am attempting to follow the manual on this topic but it
goes all over the
place and my newbie mind can't wrap my head around it.
I tried this:
<mx:WebService id="get_projects"
wsdl="
http://localhost:8500/cfc/getprojects.cfc?wsdl"
useProxy="false"/>
</mx:WebService>
But I keep getting: The prefix "mx" for element
"mx:WebService" is not
bound.
I tried to find out more about it and thought I had to add:
<mx
peration name="getProjects">
<mx:request>
<projecttitle>????</projecttitle>
</mx:request>
</mx
peration>
But I have no idea on what to put in the request section per
each title
(<projecttitle>
And anyone show me how to write a correct
<mx:WebService> statement to be
able to connect to my web service?!
And if anyone is really bored:
The query results in 5 fields of data (project_title,
p_height, p_width,
p_type, live)
How do I then bind the project_title results to a label?

Do you have a namespace declaration for mx in the root tag of
the file
that contains the WebService tag? For example, if you're in
the main
application file, your root tag should look something like:
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
...>
