In a real - world application, it is probably desirable also to monitor possible communication errors and to
check the loading status for long transactions.
Loading Variables in Flash 6 to 8
The LoadVars class is used to load values from a server. Once the load() method is executed and the
data has been received, the loaded values will be available as new fields of the LoadVars instance.
import flash.Lib;
import flash.LoadVars;
class Main
{
public static function main()
{
var loader = new LoadVars();
loader.onLoad = function(success)
{
trace(loader.message);
trace(loader.to);
}
loader.load(???variables.txt???);
}
}
Alternatively you can use the MovieClip.loadVariables() method. Its behavior is very similar to the
one described for the LoadVars class; the event to monitor to the data loading is onData . The method
also accepts a second optional argument to designate the HTTP method, GET (default) or POST, used by
the Flash Player to make the request to the server. Once loaded, the variables will be available as new
fields of the invoking MovieClip .
