FLASH: Loadvariables with undefined number of variables

[Nicolas S.-Roy]

I'm trying to load an undefined number of variables with loadvariables in a

Flash movie. The server page output looks like this :


entries=3&strLastName=Doe&strFirstName=John&PhoneNumber=555-555-5555&strLast

Name1=Bar&FirstName1=Foo&PhoneNumber=444-444-4444&LastName2=Doe&Firstname=Ja

ne&PhoneNumber=222-222-2222


"entries" tells Flash how many variable sets there will be, in this case, 3.

Now I have a movie with dynamic textboxes named "LastName, FirstName and

PhoneNumber". I want to duplicate the movie for each variable set and put

the according variables in the duplicated movie. The code I have up to now

looks like this:


entries = 1;

loop = 0;

loadVariables ("http://127.0.0.6:8080/phonebook.jsp", "", "GET");

if entries != 1 {

for (loop=1; loop<=entries; loop++) {

mCphoneEntry.duplicateMovieClip("mCphoneEntry"+loop, loop+10);

setProperty ("mCphoneEntry"+loop, _y, _y + loop);

}

loadVariables ("http://127.0.0.6:8080/phonebook.jsp", "_root.mCphoneEntry",

"GET");

for (loop=1; loop<=entries; loop++) {

mCnewPhoneEntry = "mCphoneEntry"+loop;

set (mCnewPhoneEntry.strLastName, "strLastName" add loop);

set (mCnewPhoneEntry.strFirstName, "strFirstName" add loop);

set (mCnewPhoneEntry.strPhoneNumber, "strPhoneNumber" add loop);

}

}


But it doesn't really work. I can see all the variables are loaded in the

movie when I debug it, but I don't know how to pass them one by one....


Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks alot.


p.s. A direct reply would be nice ;)
