Hey Glen thanks for your speedy response its much appriciated! Ive tried the
code you provided but am still getting the same output.
var textVars = new Array();
textVars[0] = {
a :"0",
b :"1",
c :"2"
};
textVars[1] = {
d :"3",
e :"4",
f :"5"
};
var numVars:int = textVars.length;
for(var i:int = 0;i < numVars;i++)
{
var obj:Object = textVars[i];
for (var itm:String in obj)
{
trace(itm + " = " + obj[itm]);
textVars[i][itm] = obj[itm];
}
}
var sendRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("process.php");
var setVars:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
setVars.textVars = textVars;
sendRequest.data = setVars;
sendRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
sendToURL(sendRequest);
Basically we are trying to output a $_POST array that is formated similar to
below...
Array
(
[textVars] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[a] => 0
[b] => 1
[c] => 2
)
[1] => Array
(
[d] => 3
[e] => 4
[f] => 5
)
)
)
instead we are getting:
Array
(
[textVars] => [object Object]
)
Thanks
SM

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] (AS3) Object to an Array
Hi,
You could create a loop to look through each object and then make up
your arrays a bit like this - untested:
sendVars.textVars = new Array();
var numVars:int = textVars.length;
for(var i:int = 0;i < numVars;i++) {
var obj:Object = textVars[i];
for(item:String in obj) {
trace(itm + " = " + obj[itm]);
sendVars.textVars[i][itm] = obj[itm];
}
}
//then send your data...
SWXFormat handles this sort of thing quite nicely, but they were
still working on AS3 when I last looked.

when PHP recieves the $_POST['textVars'] as [object Object] which is a string
and not an array so I can't access it with $_POST['textVars'][0]['x'], which
should output the value of textBox1.x.
