Best class design to Send XML and Receive Response in Flash - actionscript-3

Question

I would like to send an XML message, and receive a response from a server and decode it.
That's my class design approach, I would like to know the best design for that thing.
class XMLRequest extends EventDispatcher
{
private var m_data:XML;
private var m_xmlString:String;
public function XMLRequest(){ m_data = null;}
public function setRequest(xmlString:String):Boolean
{
if(xmlString)
{
m_data = new XML(xmlString);
trace("Request --" + m_xmlString);
return true;
}
return false;
}
}
class XMLResponse extends EventDispatcher
{
private m_xmlString:String;
public function XMLResponse(){ m_data = null;}
public function getResponse(data:XML):String
{
if(data)
{
m_xmlString = data.toString();
trace("Repsonse --" + m_xmlString);
return m_xmlString;
}
return " ";
}
then I will have a class Client, that sends and receives the response.
Is that a good approach or not ?

Answer 1

I recommend use class disign like adobe Loader. Also, I recommend use native class XML instead of String
XMLLoader.as
package {
import flash.events.IEventDispatcher;
[Event(type="flash.events.Event", name="complete")]
public interface XMLLoader extends IEventDispatcher {
function load(requestXML:XML):void;
function getResponseXML():XML;
}
}
XMLLoaderTester.as
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
public class XMLLoaderTester extends Sprite {
public function XMLLoaderTester() {
var loader:XMLLoader; //dont forget instantiate
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onResponse);
var requestXML:XML = <command>getData</command>;
loader.load(requestXML);
}
private function onResponse(event:Event):void {
var loader:XMLLoader = XMLLoader(event.target);
trace(loader.getResponseXML());
}
}
}
