senaAndLoad help...

I am building a Flash MX site where a section of the site will have Bios of people.
I have a database built out using MySQL and PHP.
I created this button function in my Flash movie

randall.onRelease = function() {
getBio = new LoadVars();
getBio.memberName = this._name;
getBio.send("php/bios.php", "_blank", "POST");
};

This works perfectly! My PHP echoes the info exactly how I need it. URL encoded and all!

randallBio=Randy+was+born+and+raised+in... etc

Now that I know the info is being interpreted correctly, I need to get it back into Flash. :)
Can anyone help me with converting my current send function into sendAndLoad?
That would be SWEEEEEET!

Thanks in advance!

What problem do you have with .sendAndLoad?

Are you loading this with XML data?

Thanks

I'm not sure how to write it?
I'm using PHP

How about having a look at the Flash-XML FAQ:

I actually have the Load working now in Flash.
The problem I have now is that the text is not encoded correctly. I have this line in my database:
I am testing this character!

This is what shows up in Flash:
I20am20testing20this20character210D0AonLoad5Btype2 0Function5DmemberNamerandall

Any ideas where I set the encoding?

Where is that being encoded? Is it being done on the server side or by flash???

You can also use the escape function in flash:

YES!!!
That was it. Thanks so much.

Any ideas how to get rid of the info that is tagged at the end?
onLoadtypeFunctionmemberNamerandall

Thanks so much for this, I have been sweating over this all day!

:)

When you say get rid of the information that is tagged on the end, what are you talking about? The XML?

I haven't noticed this myself before. By the looks of it some flash code is getting tacked on the end.


Thanks
