Retrieving variables from PHP.
Hi! I've just started to learn AS3 and I found out that I had to use some new methods to retrieve data from PHP. And now (of course) it doesn't work
My AS3 code looks like this:
//Create the URLLoader instance
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader()
//the data will come as URL-encoded variables
myLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES
//Load using an URLRequest, even beeing local
myLoader.load(new URLRequest("http://magnusvs.net/flashgalleri/connectToDb.php"))
//onLoad handler listener
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onDataLoad)
//add a listener for the complete event
function onDataLoad(evt:Event){
if(evt.target.data!=""){
trace(evt.target.data["id0"]);
}
}
The structure of the string that the php code echoes is like this:
&id0=1&navn=asdasd&id1=1&navn=dffhr
When I run the AS3 code, I get this error code:
Error: Error #2101: The String passed to URLVariables.decode() must be a URL-encoded query string containing name/value pairs.
at Error$/throwError()
at flash.net::URLVariables/decode()
at flash.net::URLVariables$iinit()
at flash.net::URLLoader/flash.net:URLLoader: nComplete()
If I remove
myLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES
and just trace (not a specific variable), I get the entire output, but just as a string ofcourse...
Does anybodt know how I can retrieve separate variables/being able to loop through the output variable by variable?

This error happens to everyone. Happened to me too. Basically you have to remove the & from the FIRST variable that's outputed.

Thanks for replying!
I still get an error, as long as I include:
myLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES
If I remove it, I manage to trace the entire string that's printed, but not access single variables. Any thought about why?
Here is the output from the database:

Thanks! By modifying the example from the Flash documentation, I managed to load variables from a .txt file, using this code:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.magnusvs.net/flashgalleri/test.txt");
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.load(request);
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler)
function completeHandler(event:Event):void
{
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables(loader.data);
trace(variables.monthNames);
}
But when I tried to load a .php file, I get the same error as earlier, even though I print exactly the same text as in the .txt file.
Error: Error #2101: The String passed to URLVariables.decode() must be a URL-encoded query string containing name/value pairs.
at Error$/throwError()
at flash.net::URLVariables/decode()
at flash.net::URLVariables$iinit()
at connectToDb_fla::MainTimeline/completeHandler()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/flash.events:EventDispatcher::dispatchEventFunctio n()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at flash.net::URLLoader/flash.net:URLLoader: nComplete()
Any suggestions on why this happens?

As long as you test on your harddrive you will get this error, but on the server it will work, just neglect it.
