Getting a variable from ASP to AS3

programming flash
1

I can’t use PHP for a few reasons, so I’m trying to get a variable FROM an ASP page… I have had success at giving a variable TO an ASP page but I can’t get the reverse to work.

Here’s my ASP code:


<html>
<body>


<%@Language="VBScript"%>
<%
    dim un
    
    un = Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER")
    
    Response.Write "userName=" & un
%>


</body>
</html>

And here’s my AS3 Code:


package classes {
    
    import flash.display.MovieClip;
    import flash.events.Event;
    import flash.net.URLLoader;
    import flash.net.URLLoaderDataFormat;
    import flash.net.URLRequest;
    
    public class MyServicesScreen extends MovieClip {
        
        private var _screenTitle:CustomText;
        
        public function MyServicesScreen() {        
            _screenTitle = new CustomText("COMING SOON", 70, 0x00, false, false);
            this.addChild(_screenTitle);
            _screenTitle.x = 290;
            _screenTitle.y = 340;
            _screenTitle.selectable = false;
            
            var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://ausddwsmweb01.aus.amer.dell.com/files/Ops_Rptg/Sales_Effectiveness/Services/username_script.asp");
            var variables:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
            variables.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
            variables.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
            try {
                variables.load(request);
            } catch (error:Error) {
                trace("Unable to load URL: " + error);
            }
        }
        
        private function completeHandler(event:Event):void {
            var loader:URLLoader = URLLoader(event.target);
            trace(loader.data.toString());
        }
        
        public function kill():void {
            
            this.removeChild(_screenTitle);
            MovieClip(parent).removeChild(this);
        }
    }
}

And here’s the trace output:
“%3Chtml%3E%0D%0A%3Cbody%3E%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0AuserName=test%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A%3C%2Fbody%3E%0D%0A%3C%2Fhtml%3E”

(I put “test” instead of my login name to maintain anonymity)

I have ALSO tried this:


trace(loader.data["userName"])

The trace output on this is “undefined”

Any help on this would be **greatly **appreciated… I’ve been google searching for days now.

**RESOLVED: **Hey folks, I just took out the <html> and <body> tags in the ASP page and voila! It worked!
