Re: [Flashcoders] Java servlets and receiving XML fr om Flash’s xml.sendAndLoad() function
Dave, I've posted this all on a variety of forums, including StackOverflow.com, and I haven't really gotten much of an explanation. Here's a link to the technote I was referring to: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/159/tn_15908.html The strange thing is that, according to the Actionscript documentation, xml.sendAndLoad unambiguously uses POST. However, according to the Java Servlet team (who I don't doubt), the data is sent to them as a GET. I don't know how to explain this, and since the Java team insists that the data be sent using POST, I'm stuck. Any insight or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Flash is apparently doing something a little unorthodox. Can you point me to that technote? Because there's simply NO SUCH THING as a hybrid format. An HTTP request uses one of the standard HTTP verbs (GET, POST, HEAD, etc). If you want to provide an HTTP request body, you use HTTP POST. I'm more of a Flex guy, so I don't really use sendAndLoad, but if I recall correctly you specify whether it's a GET or a POST as an optional argument if you're using loadVars, and it's always POST if you use XML.sendAndLoad. Perhaps their Java app has some sort of HTTP redirect in front of it? I don't know what happens when you get a redirect in a case like this. A traffic sniffer like Wireshark is your friend for things like this.

Re: [Flashcoders] Java servlets a nd receiving XML from Flash’s xml.sendAnd Load() function
Bring out a http debuging proxy (I use MS Fiddler) and see what the issued request really is. My hunch is that it is POST, but using the variable encoding usually attached with GET requests. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] Why is my HTML file so huge
Which version of Flash and what publish settings are you using? But in any case I would not use Flash IDE for generating HTML. Do it manually using SWFObject (which will be used if you publish from Flash CS5 :) -- Kenneth Kawamoto http://www.materiaprima.co.uk/ 2009/12/17 Alan Neilsen aneil...@gotafe.vic.edu.au: Hi List I don't recall changing any publish settings for my HTML file, but when I publish my SWF its HTML file ends up 2,582 KB instead of the expected 10 or 12 KB. When I open the HTML file I find it is the same as earlier back-up versions that were 10 KB, but for some reason when these later versions get to, !--text used in the movie-- they now list all the text in the SWF many, many, many times with lines like: p align=leftfont face=Futura LtCn BT size=16 color=#ff letterSpacing=0.00 kerning=1General data about timber framing products to go here./font/p The HTML code then goes on like that for more than 14,000 lines with, as I said, many repetitions of all the text used in the SWF. I have seen this sort of thing before, but have no idea what is causing it. Can anybody shed light on this for me?

Re: [Flashcoders] can I get some recommendations for development tools?
A lot of people like Flex Builder and Flash Develop. I prefer a language-agnostic editor than something specific to Flash so I use jEdit. http://jedit.org Compiling with the Flex SDK in jEdit on mac is easy with fcshtl: http://hasseg.org/blog/?p=194 http://ubergeek.tv/article.php?pid=146 Of course it is not as easy to set up as Flash builder but has the added benefit of working consistently.
