Hey,

so I’m working on a program that calls a php script and then loads an xml. The program works exactly how I want in the IDE but unfortunately when it is on the server it doesn’t work correctly (of course :puzzled: ). Anyways so i’ve been trouble shooting for quite some time and my guess is that the problem arises somewhere before the php call (when i make it, the variable is shown as undefined by the script). I use navigateToURL in order to test this and the script received the variable when in IDE but not from browser.

Anyways here is the code, plz take a looksy:

AS3 code:[

//this method is called everytime user scrolls.  
function scroll(e:MouseEvent):void  
{  
StatusBar.text = “”+randArray[0];  
//checks interested orientation of rand1,2,3  
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(“[http://www.myDomain.com/generateRand.php](http://www.myDomain.com/generateRand.php)”);  
sendToURL(myURLRequest);

```
var randXML:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
randXML.load(new URLRequest("http://www.myDomain.com/blackList.xml"));
randXML.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, getRandNumbers);

```

}  
function displayRandos(random1:String,random2:String,random3:String):void  
{

profile1.unload();  
profile1.source = “[http://myDomain](http://myDomain)”+random1+".jpg";  
addChild(profile1);  
profile2.unload();  
profile2.source = “[http://myDomain](http://myDomain)”+random2+".jpg";  
addChild(profile2);  
profile3.unload();  
profile3.source = “[http://myDomain](http://myDomain)”+random3+".jpg";  
addChild(profile3);  
}

function getRandNumbers(e:Event):void{  
var myXML = new XML(e.target.data);

randArray[0] = myXML.user[0].attributes()[1];  
randArray[1] = myXML.user[1].attributes()[1];  
randArray[2] = myXML.user[2].attributes()[1];

trace(randArray[0]);  
trace(randArray[1]);  
trace(randArray[2]);

StatusBar.text = randArray[0];  
userid = myXML.user[0].attributes()[0];  
displayRandos(randArray[0],randArray[1],randArray[2]);

}

]

I believe the issue lies somewhere in there. BTW the .swf also runs fine when ran on local machine

Also this is the xml that I use

\<?xml version=“1.0”?\>  
\<rands\>  
\<user userid="" id=“48” link=“[http://myDomain/48.jpg](http://myDomain/48.jpg)”\>1\</user\>  
\<user userid="" id=“38” link=“[http://myDomain/38.jpg](http://myDomain/38.jpg)”\>2\</user\>  
\<user userid="" id=“16” link=“[http://myDomain/16.jpg](http://myDomain/16.jpg)”\>3\</user\>  
\</rands\>

thanks guys for the potential help.

I’m about to go crrrrrrazy:deranged:
