[Flashcoders] can't get e.target.data

[John Polk]

Here's a code snippet:
            var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(siteUrl + 
store/flash_store2.py?id= + id + pkg= + pkgID);
            /*
            var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
            loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
            req.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
            variables.pkg = pkgID;
            variables.id = id;
            req.data = variables;
            */
            loader.load(req);
            loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onSendComplete);
        }
        
        private function onSendComplete(e:Event):void
        {
            var txt:TextField = new TextField();
            var myFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
            myFormat.font = Arial;
            myFormat.size = 5;
            var str:String = new String(e.target.data);

First up, I find I have to often bypass URLVariables because it simply doesn't 
work, as is the case here. But the real problem is thus:
1) When I test this on my Mac, calling the data from my server, everything 
works fine.
2) When I test this on my server, calling the page TTW, everything works fine 
if id has a value and pkg does not.
3) When I test my python script that generates the data on my server passing a 
value only for pkg, everything displays fine; however;
4) When I test this on my server, calling the page TTW with no value for id 
and a value for pkg, e.target.data only serves up this string -- which is 
incomprehensible to me.
How do I trouble-shoot this?
TIA,
John

Maybe set it to a var first?

var data:String = e.target.data;
var str:String = new String(data);

HTH,
