AS3, Flash - Error

Question

After that i made my AS3 send variables to my PHP i am getting the following errors:

Error: Error #2101: The String passed to URLVariables.decode() must be a URL-encoded query     string containing name/value pairs.
    at Error$/throwError()
    at flash.net::URLVariables/decode()
    at flash.net::URLVariables()
    at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()
Cannot display source code at this location.

Any idea on what to do against this? This happens only if I run it directly from the flash file?

Is this because I am using localhost on my machine to do this?

Answer 1

This usually means that the information passed back from PHP (to your onComplete handler function) is not formatted in name/value pairs.

e.g. name=Mark

If you intend to have PHP pass name/value pairs back you should set your URLLoader to:

yourLoaderName.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;

or if the response is not name/value pairs:

yourLoaderName.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;
