LoadVars.sendAndLoad() 397
LoadVars.sendAndLoad()
Availability
Flash Player 6; behavior changed in Flash Player 7.
Usage
my_lv.sendAndLoad(url:String
, targetObject[, method:String]) : Boolean
Parameters
url
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; for details, see “Description”.
targetObject LoadVars; the LoadVars object that receives the downloaded variables.
method A string; the GET or POST method of the HTTP protocol.
Returns
A Boolean value.
Description
Method; posts variables in the my_lv object to the specified URL. The server response
is downloaded, parsed as variable data, and the resulting variables are placed in the
targetObject object.
Variables are posted in the same manner as
LoadVars.send(). Variables are downloaded into
targetObject in the same manner as LoadVars.load().
In SWF files running in a version of the player earlier than Flash Player 7,
url must be in the
same superdomain as the SWF file that is issuing this call. A superdomain is derived by removing
the left-most component of a file’s URL. For example, a SWF file at www.someDomain.com can
load data from sources at store.someDomain.com, because both files are in the same superdomain
of someDomain.com.
In SWF files of any version running in Flash Player 7 or later,
url must be in exactly the same
domain (see “Flash Player security features” in Using ActionScript in Flash). For example, a SWF
file at www.someDomain.com can load data only from sources that are also at
www.someDomain.com. If you want to load data from a different domain, you can place a cross-
domain policy file on the server hosting the SWF file. For more information, see “About allowing
cross-domain data loading” in Using ActionScript in Flash.
This method is similar to
XML.sendAndLoad().
