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

onData (XMLSocket.onData handler)
onData = function(src:String) {}
Invoked when a message is downloaded from the server and terminated by a zero (0) byte.
You can override the XMLSocket.onData event handler to intercept data that the server sends
without parsing it as XML. This capability is useful if you're transmitting arbitrarily
formatted data packets, and you'd prefer to manipulate the data directly when it arrives,
rather than have Flash Player parse the data as XML.
By default, the XMLSocket.onData method invokes the XMLSocket.onXML method. If you
override XMLSocket.onData with custom behavior, XMLSocket.onXML is not called unless
you call it in your implementation of XMLSocket.onData.
Parameters
src:String - A string containing data that the server sends.
Example
In this example, the src parameter is a string containing XML text downloaded from the
server. The zero (0) byte terminator is not included in the string.
XMLSocket.prototype.onData = function (src) {
this.onXML(new XML(src));
}
onXML (XMLSocket.onXML handler)
onXML = function(src:XML) {}
Invoked by the Flash Lite player when the specified XML object containing an XML
document arrives over an open XMLSocket connection. An XMLSocket connection can be
used to transfer an unlimited number of XML documents between the client and the server.
Each document is terminated with a zero (0) byte. When the Flash Lite player receives the
zero byte, it parses all the XML received since the previous zero byte or since the connection
was established if this is the first message received. Each batch of parsed XML is treated as a
single XML document and passed to the onXML() method.
The default implementation of this method performs no actions. To override the default
implementation, you must assign a function containing actions that you define.
Parameters
src:XML - An XML object that contains a parsed XML document received from a server.
