Hi Scott,
Thanks for the reply. I'm doing something very similar. The flash code is as
follows:
var testXML:XML = new XML();
testXML.ignoreWhite = true;
testXML.onLoad = function(success){
if(success){
textXML.text = this; //display the xml in a dynamic text box on
the stage
}else{
//throw error
trace("file not found");
}
}//end onLoad function
//path to the cf script file
testXML.load("createxml.cfm");
But when I execute the html file containing .swf file the first line of
createxml.cfm is returned to the browser and not the actual xml output i.e.
<cfset variable =>
and not the xml output. Not good on a Friday afternoon!
thanks again,
alan
