Question

Problem:

I call a PHP file using an HTTPService. I set the result of this HTTPService to a function which populates a testTextArea with whatever the PHP file has returned (echoed). This work fine when I run the application from flash builder i.e. I get strings in the testTextArea, echoed by my PHP file. But this does not work fine when I make the Release of the project and the testTextArea gets populated by the whole code of PHP file.

Code:

     private function addUserServiceHandler(event:ResultEvent):void{
            testTextArea.text = event.result.toString(); //This outputs the whole php file in to the textArea as if it were a string
        }


        private function saveButtonClicked():void{
            addUserService.send();
        }

The problem was arising because I was mistakenly running my html file from harddisk by double clicking it i.e. I wasn’t running it with localhost.
