php - How to Get Array From URL Encoded String? -

i'm sure easy thing couldn't find in google hours. i'm new actionscript , i'm trying obtain array of variables string generated .php file.

my php file outputs this:

var1=42&var2=6&var3=string 

and actionscript code is:

public function callajax_variables(url:string , the_array:array)  {   var request:urlrequest = new urlrequest(url);   var variables:urlloader = new urlloader();   variables.dataformat = urlloaderdataformat.variables;   variables.addeventlistener(event.complete, variables_complete_handler(the_array));   try   {    variables.load(request);   }    catch (error:error)   {    trace("unable load url: " + error);   }  }   function variables_complete_handler(the_array:array):function {   return function(event:event):void {   var loader:urlloader = urlloader(event.target);    //the_array = loader.data;   // doesn't work.     //the_array = urlvariables.decode(loader); // doesn't work either.   //trace(loader.data['var1']); // outputs 42, i'm getting string php.   }; } 

i think understood but, in end, want have array (in actionscript) give me:

the_array['var1']=42; the_array['var2']=6; the_array['var3']="string"; 

what doing wrong? should do? thanks!

edit: i'm trying variables php actionscript. e.g. php file correctly converts array html query, don't know how parse them in array in actionscript.

you should use urlvariables this.

var vars:urlvariables = new urlvariables(e.target.data); 

this way can say:

trace(vars.var2); // 6 

an array useless here result associative rather index based, though can take values , throw them array simple loop:

var array:array = []; for(var i:string in vars) {     array.push(vars[i]); }
