[iRail] iRail API - Actionscript 3 wrapper

Sat Aug 7 13:39:04 UTC 2010

Could it be that the results parameter (to indicate the number of results
returned) doesn't work?
Just checked the PHP code in
http://github.com/Tuinslak/iRail/blob/master/api/trains.php, I see that the
variable is stored in $results but never used again.
