structure of the send xml data ?

[mentor]

Hi there ...

I'm sending an XML Object I created in Flash - to a PHP script, that outputs the $ HTTP_POST_VARS to my browser ...

I need to reconstruct the XML structure of the object however ...
In other terms, to get the whole picture --- I need to know how the object is rendered when outputted, and how I can revert it to the XML format for output to a browser or whatever ...

Could anybody help me out with that one, and share some info ?

Thanks

HUH???

You want to see your XML after you have created it?? That's easy.... if that's what you want to do.

hi ...

well - I managed to get some output to the screen and so on...

But the thing is: I need to write XML files - that can be interpreted through a browser or parser, in the exact correct way.

Flash is the frontend in this project - XML gets built or adjusted in the frontend - and once done, is sent to the backend.

I managed to put everything in one file, and the structure is good. I mean, everything I wanted to see in the XML structure is there. There is a problem though ...

I have the value of an attribute set to the following
< whatever value = " test " > testing the night away < / whatever >

The problem resides in the fact that the browser or parser will treat the "=" literally, as in paired values. In other terms. It puts it in the right place, and is physically there --- but it keeps on stating that the XML file is not correct - due to the "=" residing there. Apparently, it is not seen as a proper "=" or something ...

Any ideas, or does this sound like jibberish ... ?
It has nothing to do with the whitespace problem neither, I already checked on that ...

Maybe you can help me out ?
I'll try to post the stuff somewhere later on today or Monday or so ...

Greetings, cheers

oeps - the URL got parsed in the previous
< whatever value = " testing the night away " > test < / whatever >
is what is written in some of the output ...

What you're saying is that Flash is doing it's job, but whatever you have reading the file after Flash makes it, is messing up with the '=' signs?? So... it's not a question about Flash - but a question about whatever is looking at the file afterwards?? Unless Flash is viewing it afterwards...

hi ...

correct - the problem is that although I send all my stuff correctly from Flash - I get a problem in reading or parsing it somewhere afterwards ....

Whether it is in Flash, or Cocoon or Tomcat or something - even in IE 5.5 --- you can see the ouput being displayed and rendered eprfectly ...
But - when it comes to the parsing in whatever application it is --- I keep getting the message that my XML is malformed, because of the "=" that is treated as an element of paired values ....

So - I was wondering whether there's something different between a "=" and a "=" in XML --- maybe Ascii codes or something, dunno ...

Point is - physically - the output file is a good XML tree, with no errors in it.The file when viewed in Notepad or so, has the correct syntax. But when rendered - the problem with a wrong interpretation of the "=" arises ....

If Flash is doing it's job.... which I think it is.. you should probably ask this question on some forums devoted to whatever is screwing you up... since it looks like it's not Flash.
