Question

For Actionscript 2.0

Let’s say this page

www.example.com/mypage

returns some html that I want to parse in Actionscript.

How do i call this page from Actionscript while getting back the response in a string variable?

Answer 1

use LoadVars():

var lv = new LoadVars();

//if you want to pass some variables, then:
lv.var1 = “BUTTON”;
lv.var2 = “1”;

lv.sendAndLoad(“http://www.example.com/mypage.html“, lv, “POST”);

lv.onLoad = loadedDotNetVars;

function loadedDotNetVars(success)
{
if(success)
{
// operation was a success
trace(lv.varnameGotFromPage)
}
else
{
// operation failed
}
}

//if you dont want to send data, just get from it, then use just lv.Load(...) instead of sendAndLoad(...)
