Problem with sendToURL(). How can I solve it?

programming flash
1

Hi All,
I am new to flash and as3.
I have an issue with sendToURL() and navigateToURL() methods.
Here, i am placing the data present in my database into an Xml file. Again, i am parsing this xml file for accessing/retreival of data into flash using AS3’s XML and XMLList classes and its methods etc.,

         Collecting data from database to Xml file works fine. But, when we use navigateToURL(), a new browser window opens and required data is obtained to flash successfully.
          In order to omit the new browser window, here, we are using sendToURL(). But, here, the Xml file is unable to create(not created). Hence, no data is passed from database to flash.
          I also tried using URLLoader(but the same issue arises) whose code looks like this:

function createXml():void{
    var url:String = "http://localhost:8888/xmlServlet";
    var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
    
/*    var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
urlLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;
urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler1);
*/
    trace("XML Loaded URL is"+url);
    var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
    
    variables.viewid =String(comboBox_mc.selectedItem.data);
    //request.method=URLRequestMethod.POST;
    trace("variables.viewidvariables.viewid:"+variables.viewid);
    request.data = variables;

    //sendToURL(request);
navigateToURL(request);
//urlLoader.load(request);
/*function completeHandler1(event:Event):void {
    
    
    var loader:URLLoader = URLLoader(event.target);

    var succData:String=loader.data;
trace("in complete handler"+succData);
}
*/
}

Please help me in this context.
Waiting for ur reply…
Thanks in advance.
