ActionScript 3 Sending and Receiving Data From Servers Making a request from Flash
Example
The URLRequest and URLLoader classes work together to make requests from Flash to external resources. The URLRequest defines information about the request e.g. the request body and the request method type, and the URLLoader references this to perform the actual request and provide a means of being notified when a response is received from the resource.
Example:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest('http://stackoverflow.com');
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, responseReceived);
loader.load(request);
function responseReceived(event:Event):void {
trace(event.target.data); // or loader.data if you have reference to it in
// this scope.
}
