Calling a web service from Unity

Unity Engine
1

Hey, we are making a small arcade game that connects to our server’s web service to get and store scoring and various other stuff related to the game.

Using this tutorial:
http://randomrnd.com/2011/08/21/webservices-in-unity/

Works 100% fine when building to Android - however, when we try to build to Flash/Unity Webplayer I get one of the following errors.

WebPlayer:
ArgumentException: The Assembly System.Drawing is referenced by System.Web. But the dll is not allowed to be included or could not be found.
UnityEditor.AssemblyHelper.AddReferencedAssembliesRecurse (System.String assemblyPath, System.Collections.Generic.List1 alreadyFoundAssemblies, System.String[ ] allAssemblyPaths, System.String[ ] foldersToSearch, System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary2 cache) (at C:/BuildAgent/work/812c4f5049264fad/Editor/Mono/AssemblyHelper.cs:74)

Flash:

And in the Flash build there are A LOT more errors…

So basically my question is this - how can I access webservices using Flash/Web player, and will this tutorial work for iOS as well as for Android?

Thanks
