FLASH® LITE™ 2.x - Adobe Help and Support

Parameters
url:String - A string; the URL to which to upload variables. If the SWF file issuing this call
is running in a web browser, url must be in the same domain as the SWF file.
target:Object - The LoadVars or XML object that receives the downloaded variables.
method:String [optional] - A string; the GET or POST method of the HTTP protocol. The
default value is POST.
Returns
Boolean - A Boolean value.
Example
For the following example, add a TextInput instance called name_ti, a TextArea instance
called result_ta, and a Button instance called submit_button to the Stage. When the user
clicks the Login button instance in the following example, two LoadVars objects are created:
send_lv and result_lv. The send_lv object copies the name from the name_ti instance
and sends the data to greeting.cfm. The result from this script loads into the result_lv
object, and the server response displays in the TextArea instance (result_ta). Add the
following ActionScript to Frame 1 of the Timeline:
var submitListener:Object = new Object();
submitListener.click = function(evt:Object) {
var result_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
result_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
result_ta.text = result_lv.welcomeMessage;
} else {
result_ta.text = "Error connecting to server.";
}
};
var send_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
send_lv.name = name_ti.text;
send_lv.sendAndLoad("http://www.flash-mx.com/mm/greeting.cfm",
result_lv, "POST");
};
submit_button.addEventListener("click", submitListener);
To view a more robust example, see the login.fla file in the ActionScript samples folder at
www.adobe.com/go/learn_fl_samples. Download and decompress the .zip file and navigate to
the folder for your version of ActionScript to access the sample.
