I'm missing a point I think.


The data returned by someicon.sendAndLoad ends up in someicon.templateData right?
I don't get anything in templateData besides what the server sent back.


The data returned by someicon.sendAndLoadVars ends up in someicon.loadVars?
Along with those other property/value pairs?

The engine sets those properties, but it’s nothing weird: that’s how you should handle the onLoad, i.e. myLV.onLoad =  function{..blah..} When you inspect it you see the function as a property. Icon is added as a property so that the LV knows which icon to broadcast onLoad from. So I’m not surprised to see them there, but it is confusing how to get at the actual result. I’ve never used LoadVars myself, but I expect what is happening is that lv is a string object: if you debug(myLV) you get object? Whatabout String(myLV)?

The thing I'm curious about is the additional properties in the return.


I thought the only thing in the someIcon.loadVars would be what was returned by the call to the server.


e.g.
Value_a TEXT Value_B TEXT Value_c TEXT



where is the rest coming from?
=&onLoad=[type Function]&icon=_level0.engine.IFC.FW_ENT





I really just need to know where I truncate that string so as to just extract the return string.

Subject: [Xerte] Re: What part of the object am I looking at?Here’s the function in the engine: ICON.prototype.sendAndLoadVars = function(url, loadVarsObj){                this.loadVars = new LoadVars();                this.loadVars.icon = this;                loadVarsObj.sendAndLoad(url, this.loadVars, "POST");                this.loadVars.onLoad = function(success){                                this.icon.broadcast('onSendAndLoadVars')                                          }} So try decode() on rootIcon.ifc.loadVars?

debug(ifc.loadVars.decode());


falseHelp: "Sets the object iconID.loadVars with the resulting loadVars  properties."
Should the returned data have it own prop?

vars = new LoadVars ();

vars.CCID = 200;
ifc.sendAndLoadVars('http://www.myserver.com/daveRead.asp', vars);


returns a tab delimited string.


inspect(ifc.loadVars); //returns below


===============
Value_a TEXT Value_B TEXT Value_c TEXT

: 
onLoad : [type Function]
icon : _level0.engine.IFC.FW_ENT
===============




debug(ifc.loadVars); //returns below

===================




How do I get at just my returned data?
It doesn't seem to have a property.
