Error #1069: Property not found > sending info to PHP and Back to as3 > contact form

Hi there. first post. :slight_smile:

so i was writing/taking some code from the internet and modding it for my own needs, and it just so happens that no matter what i do, i can’t seem to get rid of ERROR 1069.

ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property writing not found on String and there is no default value.
at Untitled_fla::movie_stage_1/dataOnLoad()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()

my code for my script is as follows


send_button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, save_fn);




function save_fn(evt:Event):void {




               if(nameof.text!="" && mobile.text !="" && email.text!=""){
               var myData:URLRequest = new URLRequest("save.php")
              // var myData:URLRequest = new URLRequest("save.cfm")
               
               
               myData.method = URLRequestMethod.POST
                                     
                var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables()
                variables.nameof = nameof.text
                variables.mobile = mobile.text
                variables.email = email.text
                
                myData.data = variables
                var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader()
                loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT
               loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, dataOnLoad)
                loader.load(myData)
                //statustext.text = "Okay 1"
                
                
                
                
                
                
            } else statustext.text = "All fields are mandatory"
            
        }
    



// the error pertains from some sort of naming problem. either i have not declared "writing" properly with a evt.target.data thing, or there is something beyond what i could spot.


//and a call back piece of code

 function dataOnLoad(evt:Event){
    if(evt.target.data.writing=="Ok") {
       trace("OKAY")       
   } else trace("Error in saving submitted data");
     }

and the PHP code i’m using is:


<?php   //Capture data from $_POST array   $nameof = $_POST['nameof'];   $email = $_POST['email'];   $mobile = $_POST['mobile'];   //Make one big string in a format Flash understand   $toSave = "nameof=".$nameof."&email=".$email."&mobile=".$mobile;   //Open a file in write mode   $fp = fopen("text.txt", "w");   if(fwrite($fp, $toSave)) echo "writing = ok";
   else echo "writing=Error";   fclose($fp);   ?>

any help would be appreciated, in terms of what i’m doing wrong. it’s probably something right in front of me and i can’t see it.
my level: intermediate.
