FLASH® LITE™ 2.x - Adobe Help and Support

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.
Parameters
url:String - A string; the destination URL for the specified XML object. If the SWF file
issuing this call is running in a web browser, url must be in the same domain as the SWF file;
for details, see the Description section.
resultXML:XML - A target XML object created with the XML constructor method that will
receive the return information from the server.
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 = "";
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");
}
}
