Take a look at the HTTPService class.
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/langref/mx/rpc/http/HTTPService.html I prefer to use the pure actionscript interface to it than using MXML - especially if you have a lot of services on the server. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alex Harui Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2007 1:55 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [flexcoders] XMLHTTPRequest in Flex instead of Javascript flash.net.URLLoader ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jon Bradley Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2007 1:24 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] XMLHTTPRequest in Flex instead of Javascript So... I've got a backend server running Apache Tomcat and I've got the ability through our CMS to dynamically create gateways, and use an AJAX API to get information from them. I've never used AJAX and I'm pretty new to Flex, so the question is how can I make the same type of call that an XMLHTTPRequest is making in Javascript, but rather do it in Flex? I really have no care for Javascript ... and see no need to use it unless I absolutely have to. I'd rather keep all my communication within Flex/Flash. Maybe I'm overlooking something pretty obvious, but any pointers would be appreciated. thanks! jon
