XML 733

Example

The following example defines an XML packet and sets the content type for the XML object.

The data is then sent to a server and shows a result in a browser window.

var my_xml:XML = new XML("<highscore><name>Ernie</name>

<score>13045</score></highscore>");

my_xml.contentType = "text/xml";

my_xml.send("http://www.flash-mx.com/mm/highscore.cfm", "_blank");

Press F12 to test this example in a browser.

sendAndLoad (XML.sendAndLoad method)

public sendAndLoad(url:String, resultXML:XML) : Void

Encodes the specified XML object into an XML document, sends it to the specified URL

using the

POST method, downloads the server's response, and loads it into the

resultXMLobject specified in the parameters. The server response loads in the same manner

used by the

XML.load() method.

In SWF files running in a version of the player earlier than Flash Player 7, the

url parameter

must be in the same superdomain as the SWF file that is issuing this call. A superdomain is

derived by removing the left-most component of a file's URL. For example, a SWF file at

www.someDomain.com can load data from sources at store.someDomain.com, because both

files are in the same superdomain of someDomain.com.

In SWF files of any version running in Flash Player 7 or later, the

url parameter must be in

exactly the same domain. For example, a SWF file at www.someDomain.com can load data

only from sources that are also at www.someDomain.com. If you want to load data from a

different domain, you can place a cross-domain policy file on the server hosting the SWF file.

When

sendAndLoad() is executed, the XML object property loaded is set to false. When

the XML data finishes downloading, the

loaded property is set to true if the data

successfully loaded, and the

onLoad event handler is invoked. The XML data is not parsed

until it is completely downloaded. If the XML object previously contained any XML trees,

they are discarded.

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Lite 2.0 - Behavior changed in Flash Player 7.
