Example

The following example copies two values from text fields and sends the data to a CFM script,

which is used to handle the information. For example, the script might check if the user got a

high score and then insert that data into a database table.

var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();

my_lv.playerName = playerName_txt.text;

my_lv.playerScore = playerScore_txt.text;

my_lv.send("setscore.cfm", "_blank", "POST");
