Decoding URL encoded strings in a Flash application using the URLVariables class in ActionScript 3.0

// Suppose there's a variable ldap inside a txt
//&ldap=blah blah
// Instantiate like myMap:Map = new Map("filename.txt");
 
package {
    import flash.events.*;
    import flash.net.*;
    public class Map {
 
        public function Map(file:String):void {
            var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest(file);
            var infoTxt:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
            infoTxt.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;
            infoTxt.load(url);
            infoTxt.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, readTxtFile);
 
            function readTxtFile( evt:Event ):void {
                var urlVariables:URLVariables = new URLVariables(infoTxt.data);
                //for (var prop:String in urlVariables)
                    trace("Variable ldap: "+urlVariables.ldat);
            }
        }
