Just when I think I understand something! How come, when I load an xml file as follows, I can't access the data from outside of the loading function? This code returns a null object reference error.
Code:
var instituteList_XML:XML;
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("instituteList.xml"));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);

I'm having troubles trying to pass data from an array inside a function and make it available globally:
Code: Select allfunction getDials_Result(dialAry) {
for (var i:Number = 0; i<dialAry.length; i++) {
trace(dialAry[i]);
}
[Code].....
If I put the trace outside the function everything is undefined.
How can I set this up so the variables are declared globally so I can get them elsewhere.
So, you have a sprite, you draw some graphics, you set cacheasbitmap=true... I can't seem to access the newly created bitmap data, to access the dispose() method.

I have a class Debug with a function called trace inside it which puts a TextField on the stage and outputs the text. Now I am trying to get the Debug.trace() function to do a "normal" debug trace as well from within side itself. of course this causes a recursive loop. I am trying to figure out how I can access the top level separately. I tried using namespaces such as AS3::trace but to no luck.
I know a solution is to rename my function to stop the conflict, but I would like that to be a last resort. It is being used in quite alot of places throughout my entire code so replacing it everywhere is going to be a ballache.

I am developing movie with AS 3.0. I want to send a big array of data to MS Access using asp. Normally we were doing it with sendAndLoad method for the old action script versions. But now using with CS 5 and AS 3.0. so I have to use sendToURL or NavigateToURL or loader.Load.
But in this case i need to send large data so I can't send it as QueryString, and not want to use navigateToURL since i found that it carry data on its URL.
How could I retrieve the data from asp page and send to MS Access if I am using sendToURL or loader.load method?

I need to access data from internet using :
insert_lv.sendAndLoad("http://www.datalocation.com/data.php", result_lv, "POST");
It doesn't work. I've searched about this problem and found it as security issue. It can be solved by using :
System.security.allowDomain("www.yourswflocation.c om");
But it only works if you put your swf in server (www.yourswflocation.com). In my case, my swf is desktop application. I dont put it in any server. How can i access the data from internet?
