Creating a Web service is very simple, especially when only consumed by the Internet Explorer browser. A Web service is a class method that accomplishes the Web service task. The following code, for example, which checks if a number is a prime number, could be used as the base code that we can later extend to be an independent Web service. It includes the class PrimeNumbers and the method IsPrime(): 

  public class PrimeNumbers {
    public function IsPrime(n:int) : int {
      var i:int;
      if (n % 2 == 0) return (n == 2);

      if (n % 5 == 0) return (n == 5);
      for (i=7; i*i
