Retrieving variables send with navigateToURL POST method

[eye4see]

I am postin variable to new page using below code. How do I retrieve those variables to add to new textfields?

var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("user.html");
urlReq.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
var urlVars:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
urlVars.var1 = name_txt.text;
urlVars.var2 = surname_txt.text;
urlReq.data = urlVars;

navigateToURL(urlReq,"_self");

no way seriosly. in user.html only GET method variables are visible. to handle POST you need to write user.php or other server script.

Hi,

To retrieve the variables you sent to your user.php file, this will help.

With a button on the stage and 2 textfields, I'm sure you can work out the names of each object, try

import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.net.URLLoaderDataFormat;

btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ButtonPress);
function ButtonPress(e:MouseEvent):void
{
    var DataRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("user.php");
    var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(DataRequest);
    loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
    loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, GetData);
}

function GetData(e:Event):void
{
    myText1.text = e.target.data.Fromphp1;
    myText2.text = e.target.data.Fromphp2;
} 

and with you user.php file in the same directory (in this example), try something simple like so

<?php
    echo "Fromphp1=This is the data sent from php part 1.";
    echo "&Fromphp2=This is the data sent from php part 2.";
?>
