How can I parse my incoming string returned by server and get values?
Look at the code below, that is part of a class I am writing:
Code:
var PHPURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(MyServerURL+"myscript.php");
var PHPsendVars:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
var PHPLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

I need my flash to pull data from php dynamically. I got a php file that listens mysql for new datas to be pulled in while condition.. when data pulled I have the following ideas:
Use socket server within the same php file and send the data thru socket.. (this can be done but I do not wanna use socket yet!) have my flash file listen for posts but how can I send a POST variable from php to flash without clicking Submit button? Using Ajax and passing received-variables thru flashvars?Examples : [URL]

I make a XML connector component parse a XML document.In a node, there is a "<br />" (return to line in HTML)
<book>
<page>
Here some text and a <br /> here ! the code s broken up here
</page>
</book>
My XML connector considere the <br /> as the beginning or the end of a node !...How to avoid this <br /> or other any HTML element when parsing some XML ?
what is the best method for loading external XML (with inherent HTML) content into Flash and into the TextArea component?i have an image loader and a TextArea together on the screen. a "story" is loaded which will present a series of images (in the image loading) associated with a corresponding text (in the TextArea). a "story" has multiple image/text sections that are navigatied through with FRWD/BACK buttons. any given section can also have multiple sub-sections or "frames".
[URL]
below is my proposed sample XML structure. i want Flash to recognize how many sections and frames within sections there are in each story XML document - in order to generate a corresponding navigation structure (a tab for each section). HTML content will be immediate availble to loadinto TextArea as user move forward in sequence with nav. and images references can also be preloaded into available MC containers to be swapped into place as user navigates forward in sequence. also need to read and store attributes for each node in the XML to come up in MCs in sequence. and must also be able to parse XML in a way to place simple HTML formatted content (within XML) into the TextArea.would Arrays be used?
<story title = "Story Title">
<section num = "1" title = "Section One Title" >
<frame image = "1.jpg" caption = "caption text
here"><b>Content</b><br><br>content

I am having a problem parsing xml data, I know how to get it into as3, and that is working pretty well after following a brilliant tutorial on kirupa:[URL] But I am having a problem tracing the data that I want. Seemingly it is connecting to the database and is working in that sense but when I try to trace data I am getting a couple problems. The first is that I need to somehow specify a value of a single item to get the rest of the data. Here is the xml:

I'm being passed the following from our ASP developers: Code: DefaultValue1=Photo1.jpg::Taken 2-24-05~Photo2.jpg::Taken 2-24-05 Now I need this obviously to show an image in a placeholder and then Taken 2-24-05 Would be text for a textfield.

ActionScript Code:
//request is made to PHP script
function completor(evt:Event):void {
var getor:URLLoader = URLLoader(evt.target);//works
var vars:URLVariables = new URLVariables(getor.data);//doesn't work!
}
getData.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completor);
The first line outputs something like "&var1=something&var2=something_else". I just can't get why when I try to parse the data from the loader object into variables (second line) Flash simply stops and all the code after doesn't get executed.

So I have now tested my file with a test xml and it works just fine, but I need to get the dat from the server so it becomes dynamic. I've gotten some php to generate a xml document, but I can't get it to "be" an xml, it's just formatted like it and it's a String.
Can I somehow convert the String to a XML variable, or will I have to cut up the string and get out the info I need.
In the second case, what would be the best way to parse the data in php (what formatting)?
The xml looks like this:
Code:
<portfolio>
<project title="a name" info="Bla" thumb="files/thumbs/p1.gif">
<file title="a name" info="blabla" thumb="files/thumbs/p1_1.gif"
[Code].....
And with all those < > " = symbols I think I would have a hard time to break it apart. The result should become an Array which contains project Objects with properties and another Array to hold file Objects with their own properties.
But the general question is: String to XML, how? If not possible, how to build this xml shaped String so it can be picked apart easily?
I want to display a list box in a different way. I have uploaded the image as well i.e., what exactly am looking for and how the list box has to look. I am parsing the xml data and it's coming fine in list box. but my requirement is the look n feel of list box.
Flash code :
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlData:XML = new XML();
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML);

xmlData = new XML(e.target.data);

I have intercepted x-amf data being posted to a website from my computer by a flash application. I have the collected POST data in hex form. While some of it has translated directly to text, the rest is showing wierd symbols which probably means they're flash objects. How do I parse this data to get meaningful output outta it?
Basically, I need a script/program/anything that will take in amf data in the hex form, and output text and flash objects...
I have a what I thought was a fairly simple scrolling number list (like a lotto ticker) and am trying to parse the XML data to display the digits for some reason I am having some trouble. Perhaps I could play the mc of the spinning numbers and then stop it and just import a number into a text field?

All Im trying to do is post firstname, lastname and emailaddress from a form inside my swf to a php file and then get that php file to return a result back to my swf.
First of all i tried using external interface to handle this because the server its going to run on doesnt support PHP.
I had the SWFgrab the data from the text fields, pass the data to JS through external interface, then the JS would use jquery AJAX to execute the php file, then the JS would grab the results from the AJAXd div, then pass the data back through to the SWF. It was a bit of a circle jerk but it worked.
However, the PHP script that needs to be executed in a different domain as the SWF. I forgot that this would cause an issue. I then tried to setup AJAX crossdomain policies, but this is going to be a reasonably high traffic site and i felt that the proxy options that i found were kind of slow.
I realised that what id been doing so far was probably over complicated anyway. So, i went back to basics and thought id try using the URLLoader to load in the php file as a string. I setup a crossdomain.xml file on my server that will be hosting the PHP and used the loader to grab the PHP file.
This works fine, all the PHP does is echo out 3 comma separated values which i then split into an array and use in my SWF. I get the values no problem. However, my status bar in firefox keeps saying that its still transferring.
Ive tried telling the PHP script to 'exit();' after its echo'd out my results. Ive tried telling the URLoader to .close(); when its grabbed the data, neither of which stop it from transferring. Im also using the web debugging proxy 'Charles' and that says that the connection opened and closed successfully, but firefox still says that its transferring.[code]...

Im working with this little sidescroller tile based game, im saving maps to xml file. But got this little problem. I would like to do something like this.
var currentLevel:int = 1;
var myMap:String = "map" + currentLevel;
var myMap = xmlData.myMap.tiles.text();
so i would like to put that variable to that getting data from xml so if my currentLevel changes its getting diffrent data from xml file. so is that possible to put variable to that xmlData.myMap.tiles.text();
i have a large text file full of several chunks of binary data, each chunk separated by "---"
so it looks like this:
[Code]...
I have loaded the data in an untyped variable. var data:* = URLLoader(event.target).data; so data contains all the text file content. my problem is that i want to parse this text file and put each chunk of binary data into a ByteArray.
any ideas of how i can go about doing that? i have never dealt with untyped variables before so i am not sure what to do. and i don't want to lose the binary data representation by casting (if that happens).
