Process xml string on url

Question

Hi,
I need to build a page that will do the following and I'm
hoping for some
guidance..
remote client open URL
http://domain.com/getdata.cfm
remote client check that the port is open then send xml
string
the page needs to process the xml string
example: <data>
<id>1</id>
<event>sales</event>
</data>
after process send back a respond...
I don't know where to begin doing something like this... any
suggestions
would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

I tried that, and it in fact is a string. I also renamed my
function correctly (i.e. loadMovie), but I'm still getting the
'undefined' issue for the URL. I've tried to comment a little more
in the text below. The problem seems to be in the last 4 or 5 lines
where I'm trying to use a variable string to define the url instead
of a hard coded string with " quotes ".
Thanks again! :)
// Create new XML Object and set ignoreWhite true
book_xml = new XML();
book_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
// Setup load handler which just invokes another function
// which will do the parsing of our XML
book_xml.onLoad = function(sucess) {
if (sucess) {
processBook(book_xml);
// Load up the XML file into Flash
book_xml.load('book.xml');
// This is the function that will be called when
// our XML document is loaded succesfully
function processBook(xmlDoc_xml) {
// xmlDoc_xml is now a reference to the XML
// object where our information is stored
// the content of the first three variables below display
fine because the variables are
// linked to a dynamic text field. The 4th is not working
since I am using it to define
// the URL in the loadmovie function below.
topictxt1_var =
(xmlDoc_xml.firstChild.firstChild.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue);
bodytxt1_var =
(xmlDoc_xml.firstChild.firstChild.firstChild.nextSibling.firstChild.nodeValue);
instructions_var =
(xmlDoc_xml.firstChild.firstChild.firstChild.nextSibling.nextSibling.firstChild.nodeValue );
media_var =
(xmlDoc_xml.firstChild.firstChild.firstChild.nextSibling.nextSibling.nextSibling.firstChi ld.nodeValue);
//The problem here is that the variable media_var contains
the string "images/award.jpg" without the quotes.
//In the loadmovie function needs the quotes " at the
beginning and end of the string images/award.jpg to define the URL.
//This works>> loadMovie("images/award.jpg", image_mc);
//This doesn't
loadMovie(media_var, image_mc);
