sendAndLoad(), ASP, XML

programming flash
1

I am trying to send some variables to an ASP cgi using the sendAndLoad() function in Flash. On Frame one of my movie I have the following code:


// on submit function
function onSubmit() {
 // Initialize form variables:
 query = new LoadVars();
 // Get combo box selections:
 query.propertyId = 33;
 query.adultCount = 2;
 query.childCount = 0;
 query.infantCount = 0;
 query.roomCount = 1;
 query.arriveDate = "22/08/2005";
 query.departDate = "24/08/2005";
 // Change the URL to point to the ASP file on your web server.
 query.sendAndLoad("[http://84.92.195.220/LodgeXMLTest/xmlquery.aspx](http://84.92.195.220/LodgeXMLTest/xmlquery.aspx)", query, "POST");
 // goto next frame
 nextFrame();
}
// send form data
_root.onSubmit();

This is trying to replicate the HTML version you can see here:
http://dev.studio24.net/contractor/xmltest.htm

This as you can see returns some XML data which I need to be able to trace. Once I have successfully done that I will then apply it to some movie clips.

On Frame 2 of my movie I have this code:


//Calculates bytes loaded and total bytes in an enterFrame loop
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
 totalBytes = query.getBytesTotal();
 loadedBytes = query.getBytesLoaded();
 if (totalBytes == loadedBytes) {
  trace(loadedBytes+" "+totalBytes);
  nextFrame();
  delete _root.onEnterFrame;
  
 }
};

and on Frame 3 I need to trace the returned XML data printed by the ASP cgi, so I have done this:


// load XML results
menuXml = new XML();
menuXml.ignoreWhite = true;
menuXml.onLoad = function(success) {
 if (success) {
  menuItem = this.childNodes;
  for (var i = 0; i<menuItem.length; i++) {
   trace(menuItem*.firstChild.attributes.roomTypeCustomerTitle);
  }
 }
};

Now, I know all the names of variables and new XML etc are wrong but my actionScript is lame so I’m stuck on what I need to do to fix it. As you saw before the HTML version works so I just need to replicate this in Flash.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong and how to correct this.

Much aopreciated

Cheers
