Hey guys, I am new to AS3 (actually developing mobile apps with flex in Flash Builder) and when I say new I mean a few days. I wrote a program in C# and want to turn it into a mobile app in flash builder. The part where I am struggling is grabbing the source html of a website and turning into a string. In C# the code I have is:

System.Net.WebClient webClient = new System.Net.WebClient();
string strSource = webClient.DownloadString(URL);
webClient.Dispose();
return strSource;

I have been reading about urlloader and urlrequest but not able to put anything together yet. Any help appreciated, not looking for the easy way out and it isn't a school project. Just fun.

No responses yet... if it helps I can post some as3 code or links to similar work. I am just not sure what the next step is or where to start.

I'm no AS3 guru, but I am well equip for AS2 and know that you can use LoadVars to view a website, if you using the [LoadVarsVar].onData(data:String). I searched for the equivalent which would be the URLLoader - you can find the official documentation on it here.

Hope it helps
