Sorry about the subject, I'm not sure why I didn't use something more
descriptive.
Here's a snippet of the code I'm using.
public function postData(){
var urlData:String = "foo=bar";
trace(urlData);
var variables:URLVariables = new
URLVariables(urlData);
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
request.url = "http://domain.com/remoteScript.cfm";;
request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
request.data = variables;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
completeHandler);
try
{
loader.load(request);
}
catch (error:Error)
{
trace("Unable to load URL");
}
function completeHandler(event:Event):void
{
trace(event.target.data.resultCode);
}
}
I don't know if this is the best way to do this, I just copied and modified
one of the examples at
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=17_Networking_and_co
mmunications_3.html
The string I'm trying to get is in the last trace, resultCode. FB3 does
show a warning about the function. "-1008: return value for function
'postData' has no type declaration." I don't have a clue what this means.
I have a Flex 3 book on order, so hopefully I can bring my dumb questions
down to a minimum once I get my hands on it.
Thanks!

Welcome, Steve.
First, please use a descriptive subject for all posts, including "AIR", if
you think that might be signficant. There is too much traffic on this list
for anyone to read all posts, so we choose what to read based on the
subject. Subjects like "HELP ME!!!" and "URGENT!!!", and even "Newbie
Question" stand a good chance of being skipped.
Now, for your question, I do not use AIR much yet, but generally, you need
to use a result handler on your data call. That function will be called
when your data returns, and you can then do whatever you need with it. Are
you using RemoteObject to make the call? All the of the RPC protocols
support the result event.

Subject: [flexcoders] newbie question
Let me start by saying that I am completely new to Flex and obviously the
list. I'll apologize upfront for asking the dumb and obvious questions, but
I'm still going to ask them :P
So here's a description of what I'm doing and my question.
I built an Air app with Flex 3 that posts some form data to a remote cfm
file. The cfm file then returns a string. If I watch the app running in
the Flex Builder 3 debug perspective I can see the string that's returned.
My question is this. How do I get that string and make it available to
another function? I want to use the returned string in another post method
in the same app.
If more details are required I can give them, just holler J and Thanks in
advance.
