Processing a PHP variable in AS3

Question

I have looked in every book that I have on AS3 and cannot
come up with a solution to this, I hope that someone can help me.
I am receiveing a data string from a PHP --- mySQL connection
on my web server. The string is arriving in flash as I can trace it
and see the variables. If I do a trace on event.target.data I see
the following.
&numResult1=4&numResult2=14&numResult3=37&numResult4=70&numResult5=5&numResult6=3&doneLoad ing=true
This is exactly what I should be seeing based on my PHP code.
I am trying to assign the numResult numbers to a dynamic text
box, for instance numResult1 = 4, I would like to assign that 4 to
a dynamic text field on the Flash Stage. I have not figured out a
way to get the variable out of the string.
I keep getting undefined or a variety or other errors with
the different methods I try.
I have tried numerous ways using the URLVariables class but I
have had no luck. Use to be very simple in AS2, I could assign the
variable right to the dynamic text field in the properties panel,
not anymore.
Does anyone know how I can do this. People are doing it all
the time, it can't be that hard, is it?????
Just a good example as to how to break the variables out
would be really helpful. I have tried the FlashGods site and could
not figure there examples out, in fact the two I tried did not work
at all.
I would appreciate any help.... Thank you.

Answer 1

I have been trying to work this through for over a week, here
is the ActionScript Code;
AS
function getData(event:Event):void {
var myURLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("polls2.php");
// Actually goes to a web site.
myURLLoader.dataFormat=URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;
myURLLoader.load(myURLRequest);
myURLLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
completeHandler);
function completeHandler(event:Event):void {
trace(myURLLoader.data);
var myURLVariables:URLVariables = new
URLVariables(myURLLoader.data);
gotoAndStop(2);
Here is what I get with the Trace Statement:
&numResult1=6&numResult2=6&numResult3=5&numResult4=9&numResult5=7&numResult6=1&doneLoading =true
Here is what I get when I try to set the URL variables.
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()
at MethodInfo-2()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()
Now it sure looks to me that the string being passed is
name/value pairs.
I have tried every way that I can think of to capture this
data. I must be missing something simple.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your help.
