Problem solved: it was indeed that the flash object did not like
multidimensional data.
I didn't change my PHP code one little bit. But I changed my my
ActionScript code to write the data in a 1-dimensional form as follows:
/*****************************************/
for(var i in _level0) {
if(typeof(_level0[i]) == "movieclip") {
data_lv[i + "_path"] = _level0[i];
data_lv[i + "_id"] = _level0[i]._name;
data_lv[i + "_x"] = _level0[i]._x;
data_lv[i + "_y"] = _level0[i]._y;
}
}
data_lv.sendAndLoad("myScript.php", data_lv, "POST");
/******************************************/
This works perfectly and php receives all of the data correctly. Thanks
guys for your thoughts. I'm going to be posting an addition to the online
ActionScript documentation to hopefully help others avoid this pitfall!
