Hello,

This is a slight adaption from code given in ‘A beginners guide to AS3’ that is meant to work, although for the life of me I can’t get it to work, both on my server and locally (using XAMPP).

 
[COLOR=#993300]var[/COLOR] respTxt:[COLOR=#993300]TextField[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#993300]new[/COLOR] [COLOR=#993300]TextField[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];

    addChild[COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR]respTxt[COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];
[COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR]

And the PHP

<?php 
if (isset($GLOBALS["HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA"])){ 
//    $xml = xmldoc($GLOBALS["HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA"]); 
    $xml = $GLOBALS["HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA"]; 
    $file = fopen("data.xml","wb"); 
    fwrite($file, $xml); 
    fclose($file); 
//    echo("<status>File saved.</status>"); 
    echo($GLOBALS["HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA"]); 
} 
?>

Locally I get a blank text box, nothing shows up. On my server, I get:

An error occurred when attempting to load the XML.
Error #2032

Could anyone shed some light on this? Or maybe test this out for themselves and see if it is just me!

Thanks,

Richard
