XMLConnector parameters

You can set the following authoring parameters for each XMLConnector component instance in the Parameters tab of the Component inspector:

URL is a string that points to an external XML data source.

direction is a string that defines what HTTP operation to perform when the XMLConnector.trigger() method is called. This parameter can have the value "send", "receive", or "send/receive".

A value of "send" means that the XML data is sent (via HTTP POST) to the URL, but Flash ignores any data that comes back. The XMLConnector.results property is never set to anything, and no result event occurs.

A value of "receive" means that no data is sent out to the XML URL. Flash accesses the URL via HTTP GET, and expects valid XML data to come back.

A value of "send/receive" means that Flash sends the XML data via HTTP POST, and expects valid XML data to come back.

If the direction parameter is null, or unrecognized, the default value is "send/receive".

ignoreWhite is a Boolean value; the default setting is false. When this parameter is set to true, the text nodes that contain only white space are discarded during the parsing process. Text nodes with leading or trailing white space are unaffected.

multipleSimultaneousAllowed is a Boolean value; when set to true, it allows a trigger() operation to initiate when another trigger() operation is already in progress. Multiple simultaneous trigger() operations may not be completed in the same order they were called. Also, Flash Player may place limits on the number of simultaneous network operations. This limit varies by version and platform. When the parameter is set to false, a trigger() operation cannot initiate if another one is in progress.

suppressInvalidCall is a Boolean value; when set to true, it suppresses the trigger() operation if the data parameters are invalid. When suppressInvalidCall is set to false, the trigger() operation executes and uses invalid data if necessary.
