Hi all! Fairly new programmer here. I’m building an application that needs to exchange data with a Xaraya (php CMS) back end. Thus far, we’ve been doing it through URLs that output XML for getting data, and URL query strings for sending data. For basic stuff, this has worked flawlessly in my debugging environment. But there are times when I have to send some decent sized chunks of XML. I wrote a little parser to make the XML URL safe and then tacked it onto the query string. This worked in Firefox 2/3 but not in IE7. Of course, when I froze the program and manually pasted the generated URL query string into IE7, it DID work. So hmmmmm I say. That’s problem uno.

Problem dos is simpler and seemingly more severe. When I made a release build and put it on my testing server, the Xaraya communication didn’t work at all! This is a shared hosting server. I got the domain from siteground.com. I haven’t yet tried the release build on the same server as the Xaraya site. Could this possibly be some kind of hosting issue? Another issue has been images in .swf format. They load in my debugging environment but not on the server.

We’ve also been considering switching to using an AMF Xaraya module (called flashservices module) for communication, but the Xaraya developer is saying it looks like it would take a lot of extra time/headaches to configure. Does anyone know if it would be worthwhile to switch? Screwed currently in any case, but perhaps there are fixes to the URL issues?

Tremendous thanks for your help!
