Question

I need a little help here getting data from mysql via PHP with AS3.

I’ve change the code a few times

AS3 Code here

function requestData():void {

var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
var varSend:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.bestlincs.co.uk/forum/iphone.php");
varSend.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
varSend.data as String;


urlLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;
urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);

    function completeHandler(evt:Event):void{
        var urlLoader:URLLoader = evt.target as URLLoader;
        var resultData:String = urlLoader.data as String;

        if (resultData == "") {
            output_txt.text = "No data coming through";
        } else {
            output_txt.condenseWhite = true;
            output_txt.htmlText = "" + resultData;
        }
    }

urlLoader.load(varSend);

}
requestData();
stop();

PHP code is HERE

<?

include "../lib/forumconnect.php";


$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM posts WHERE post_owner='0'");
$body="";

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query))
{
    $body.=$row['post_body']."<br>";    
}

echo "returnBody=".strip_tags($body);
echo "returnBody=".strip_tags($body);

mysql_close();
exit();

?>

Now i get the error

Scene 1, Layer ‘Layer 1’, Frame 1, Line 9 1120: Access of undefined property event.
Scene 1, Layer ‘Layer 1’, Frame 1, Line 26 1120: Access of undefined property varLoader.

Please can anyone shed some light on this ???

Answer 1

The error message says it all.

There is no property called returnBody in event.target.data.

You should be looking at this instead

var urlLoader:URLLoader = event.target as URLLoader;
var resultData:String = urlLoader.data as String;

So your function becomes something like this:

function completeHandler(evt:Event):void{
    var urlLoader:URLLoader = evt.target as URLLoader;
    var resultData:String = urlLoader.data as String;
    if (resultData == "") {
        output_txt.text = "No data coming through";
    } else {
        output_txt.condenseWhite = true;
        output_txt.htmlText = "" + resultData;
    }
}
