View 1 RepliesI'm having the weirdest problem. I have a drawing app that is supposed to send the image to the server via URLRequest once the user has been passive for 2 seconds.
It works fine inside flash, until I take it to the browser. I've tried many different things but the URLRequest just won't fire, however if I put a button on the stage and attach the same URLRequest function to it, then it works perfectly.
Is this somekind of flash security issue that you can't do URLRequests without mouse interaction???
I have something like the following code:
Code:
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest('child.swf');
var vars:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
vars.foo = 'bar';
[Code]....
but when I change URLRequestMethod.GET to URLRequestMethod.POST, I'm unable to. why, and if there's a workaround?

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to use URLRequestMethod.GET to get some xml from our website.In ie7 the onComplete never fires so it gets stuck but it works great in every other browser. I know that to fix a similar problem with preloaders you change the onComplete to a ProgressEvent and check to see if bytesLoaded == bytesTotal.This doesn't seem to work for URLRequestMethod.GET because when bytesLoaded = bytesTotal it doesn't mean that you have your data. Is there another way to check to see when the data is finished?
View 7 RepliesDoes anyone have a way (or an alternative to) to get code below to work on local, windows if that matters, files (so not served on a http server)?If I use code below, the IOError eventhandler is triggered (it appearantly cannot deal with the ?testing=true trailing the filename)If URLRequestMethod is set to POST, the external file loads but its loaderInfo.parameters do not contain given parameters from the URLVariables object.
Code below does work on localhost so in essence it's OK, right?I can have the loaded file poll the parent or whatever to retrieve variables or push variables after Event.COMPLETE but that does not seem as elegant...
var l:Loader = new Loader();l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener( IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onError );var u:URLRequest = new URLRequest( "somefile.swf" );u.method = URLRequestMethod.GET;var d:URLVariables = new URLVariables();d.testing = "true";
u.data = d;
l.load( u );addChild( l );
function onError( e:IOErrorEvent ):void{ trace( e );}
Im building a reservation form, using actionscript and php. I use sendAndLoad to send variables to php via POST, which returns a different HTTP POST response in case of sucess or not.
Is there anyway to "read" HTTP POST responses with actionscript?
I am making dynamic post values to post to a URL.

Maybe I am doing this the hard way with eval, is there an easier way, such as passing an array of post variables?
I'm writing a Flex application that uses HTTPService to communicate with a php script, in order to do a query on a database.Everything works fine if i use a GET request, but it doesn't work with POST. For some odd reason, the php script is actually receiving a GET request instead of POST. Also, it seems not to carry the parameters that i sent from the flex app.Here is a part of the Flex code:
<mx:HTTPService id="userRequest" url="url"
useProxy="false" method="POST" result="checkTransmissionCode()">
<s:request xmlns="">[code]....

I am trying to load random external SWF's using XML. I'm not having any problems loading JPG files, but the SWF's just won't load. Is there a difference between JPG's and SWF's when loading using loadMovie? Pointers to tutorials or pages in the manual would be great.
Here's a snippet of the code:

View 3 RepliesEach line in the dynamic textbox has 15 characters, and yet you can notice the difference in the length(between each line).
I want to make the length of each line look same if they have same number of charaters.
Suppose I'm building a game where your ship moves with left/right keys.I assign a speed variable which is the number of pixels the ship will move when you press one of the said keys.Currently (on the tutorial I'm following) I have:
Quote:
static const speed:Number = 150.0
Can't I just replace it:
Quote: var speed:int = 150
Also, what's the difference between var a:Number and var a:int? And is there any important reason to add the .0 in 150.0?
I was just wondering what the difference between these two is.

Why do I have to have 'current' as XML and not as XMLList? I thought XMLList's with length == 1 are handled as XML's anyway, aren't they?
