Hi, I tried the <?php echo "&sentStr=".rawurlencode($string)."&"; ?> thing, but I get the same problem as when I was using urlencode($string). Flash grabs the string and automatically decodes it, so when I put it in the XML constructor, I get an invalid XML string.
About using the XML object directly instead of LoadVars, I don't think it would work. I am sending data to a PHP script using POST, which queries a DB and returns the result as an XML tree. I can't use the XML class' send or sendAndLoad methods because these send an XML file to the PHP script instead of data in the POST array. Is there another way of using the XML class directly that I am missing? The pipe-encoding solution works, but it would be nice to have something a little more general...

Wait...is there any particular reason you are using LoadVars instead of the XML class? I think simply using XML instead would solve your problem, without any funny hacks. -David R

It would be more robust and flexible, not to mention more compatible with other client and server technologies. ryanm
