sendXML
Syntax
sendXML "sendxmlstring", "window", "postdata"
Description
Command; functions much like the getURL
scripting method, which is also available in the Flash Asset Xtra component of Director. The sendXML
handler is called when the sendXML
ActionScript method is executed in a Flash movie. As a result, the Flash sprite sends its XML data to Lingo. In essence, sendXML
calls up information in a Flash sprite, which you can then use to further develop the XML capabilities of your Director movie.
You use the sendXML
command in Director when you apply this behavior to a Flash sprite. If there is a sendXML
handler in a behavior attached to the Flash sprite, the Flash Asset Xtra calls this handler. The information in the handler consists of the three parameters previously established for the sendXML
ActionScript method: the receiving URL, the target window, and the XML data to send. The data are then passed to the sendXML
handler in Lingo.
Flash sprites can also load external XML data or parse internal XML data. The Flash Asset Xtra handles these functions in the same way as a Flash 5 movie in your browser.
Example
This Lingo command gets the sendXML
method information from the Flash sprite and then transmits the XML data to the URL:
on sendXML me, theURL, targetWindow, xmlDataend postNetText(theURL, xmlData)
