Key Value Pairs in AS3

Question

I have a back-end PHP script sending info to an as3 app. What I have it sending is Json info, what I did to make it a key value pair was stick a key and an equals sign in front of it, and send it off. It works on smaller values, but for some reason, it's not working with this, heres the code, I hope you guys can help. Thanks :)

Answer 1

Are there newlines in the value? That could be a problem, depending on how you're using/reading the key values. Maybe if you post the portion of your AS3 app that's accessing the values I could provide more insight.

Answer 2

If you're using JSON, can't you just drop the key and the return only the JSON data? This is what makes more sense to me.

From your actionscript code, you could load the data setting the URLLoader dataFormat property to URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT and parse the response data as JSON.

Otherwise, maybe rawurlencode() could help if you ghave to o with the key/values approach for some reason:

$json_data = ''; // your current data goes here
echo 'c3po=' . rawurlencode($json_data);
