Excuse me if my AS3 is not entirely correct, but wouldn't this bemore
of what your trying to do?

...
     var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
         var post_vars:URLVariables = new URLVariables(id, pkg);
     loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
         req.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
     req.url = "" + siteUrl + "store/flash_store2.py";
     post_vars.id = id;
     post_vars.pkg = pkgID;
     req.data = post_vars;
         loader.send(req.url, req.method, req.data);
         loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onSendComplete);
     }


I had this:

var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(siteUrl + "store/flash_store2.py");

            var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
            loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
            req.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
            variables.pkg = pkgID;
            variables.id = id;
            req.data = variables;
            loader.load(req);
            loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onSendComplete);

and sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't.

Not sure, but by doing:
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(siteUrl + "store/flash_store2.py?
id=" +
id + "&pkg=" + pkgID);

doesn't this "overwrite" the posting of the URLVariables?

I use URLVariables all the time and never have any problem.

I think the other way he was doing it is supposed to be like this..

var str:String = new String();
str = e.target.data;

Yes?

Maybe set it to a var first?

var data:String = e.target.data;
var str:String = new String(data);

HTH,

Here's a code snippet:

         */
         loader.load(req);
         loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onSendComplete);
     }

     private function onSendComplete(e:Event):void
     {
         var txt:TextField = new TextField();
         var myFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
         myFormat.font = "Arial";
         myFormat.size = 5;
         var str:String = new String(e.target.data);

First up, I find I have to often bypass URLVariables because it
simply doesn't work, as is the case here. But the real problem is
thus:
1) When I test this on my Mac, calling the data from my server,
everything works fine.

2) When I test this on my server, calling the page TTW,everything

works fine if "id" has a value and "pkg" does not.
3) When I test my python script that generates the data on my
server passing a value only for "pkg", everything displays fine;
however;
4) When I test this on my server, calling the page TTW with no

value for "id" and a value for "pkg", e.target.data only servesup

this string "->->" which is incomprehensible to me.
How do I trouble-shoot this?
TIA,
John
