contentType (LoadVars.contentType property)
public contentType : String
The MIME type that is sent to the server when you call LoadVars.send() or
LoadVars.sendAndLoad(). The default is application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Lite 2.0
Example
The following example creates a LoadVars object and displays the default content type of the
data that is sent to the server.
var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
trace(my_lv.contentType); // output: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
See also
send (LoadVars.send method), sendAndLoad (LoadVars.sendAndLoad method)
decode (LoadVars.decode method)
public decode(queryString:String) : Void
Converts the variable string to properties of the specified LoadVars object.
This method is used internally by the
LoadVars.onData event handler. Most users do not
need to call this method directly. If you override the
LoadVars.onData event handler, you
can explicitly call
LoadVars.decode() to parse a string of variables.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Lite 2.0
Parameters
queryString:String - A URL-encoded query string containing name/value pairs.
Example
The following example traces the three variables:
// Create a new LoadVars object
var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
//Convert the variable string to properties
my_lv.decode("name=Mort&score=250000");
trace(my_lv.toString());
// Iterate over properties in my_lv
for (var prop in my_lv) {
trace(prop+" -> "+my_lv[prop]);
}
