Example

The following example includes ActionScript for a simple e-commerce storefront application.

The

XML.sendAndLoad() method transmits an XML element that contains the user's name

and password, and uses an

onLoad handler to process the reply from the server.

var login_str:String = "<login username=\""+username_txt.text+"\"

password=\""+password_txt.text+"\" />";

var my_xml:XML = new XML(login_str);

var myLoginReply_xml:XML = new XML();

myLoginReply_xml.ignoreWhite = true;

myLoginReply_xml.onLoad = myOnLoad;

my_xml.sendAndLoad("http://www.flash-mx.com/mm/login_xml.cfm",

myLoginReply_xml);

function myOnLoad(success:Boolean) {

if (success) {

if ((myLoginReply_xml.firstChild.nodeName == "packet") &&

(myLoginReply_xml.firstChild.attributes.success == "true")) {

gotoAndStop("loggedIn");

} else {

gotoAndStop("loginFailed");

}

} else {

gotoAndStop("connectionFailed");
