Please, help me tweak this as file

[schammy79]

First time I get this error, so I'm not sure how to understand it...

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()

I see that the line resulting in error is:
var vars:URLVariables=new URLVariables(e.target.data);

I tried adding trace(e.target.data), but not sure where at this point... Any HELP, PLS ?!?!

Below is my code:

Are you sure you need URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES ?

I'm working on a Flash + Rails application, and faced the same issue. The Rails app is returning JSON data, so I set loader.dataFormat to URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT.

Thanks for your help... Unfortunately it did not work and I still get the same error... Argh!

What is newsletter.php returning to your request?

[amarghosh]

add a trace statement to urlloader's oncomplete handler

private function completato(e:Event):void
{
trace(e.target.data);
var vars:URLVariables=new URLVariables(e.target.data);

[schammy79]

I added the trace statement and I'm still getting the same error message.
