1504 XMLConnector component (Flash Professional only)
Description
Property; the URL that this component uses when carrying out HTTP operations. This URL
may be an absolute or relative URL. The URL is subject to all the standard Flash Player
security protections (for more information about Flash Player security protections, see
“Understanding Security” in Learning ActionScript 2.0 in Flash).
Example
This example retrieves a remote XML file using the XMLConnector component by setting
the
direction property to receive. Drag an XMLConnector component into your library,
and enter the following code on Frame 1 of the timeline:
import mx.data.components.XMLConnector;
var xmlListener:Object = new Object();
xmlListener.result = function(evt:Object) {
trace("results:");
trace(evt.target.results);
trace("");
};
xmlListener.status = function(evt:Object) {
trace("status::"+evt.code);
};
var myXMLConnector:XMLConnector = new XMLConnector();
myXMLConnector.addEventListener("result", xmlListener);
myXMLConnector.addEventListener("status", xmlListener);
myXMLConnector.direction = "receive";
myXMLConnector.URL = "http://www.flash-mx.com/mm/tips/tips.xml";
myXMLConnector.multipleSimultaneousAllowed = false;
myXMLConnector.suppressInvalidCalls = true;
myXMLConnector.trigger();
myXMLConnector.trigger();
myXMLConnector.trigger();
This code specifies the URL of the XML file and sets multipleSimultaneousAllowed to
false. It triggers the XMLConnector instance three times, which causes the event listener’s
status() method to display the error code CallAlreadyInProgress two times in the
Output panel. The first attempt is successfully sent from Flash to the server. When the first
trigger successfully receives a result, the
result event is broadcast and the XML packet you
receive is displayed in the Output panel.
