my_lv.contentType:String
Description
Property; the MIME type that is sent to the server when you call LoadVars.send() or
LoadVars.sendAndLoad(). The default is application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
Example

LoadVars.decode()
Availability
Flash Player 7.
Usage
my_lv.decode(variables:String) : Void
Parameters
variables
A URL-encoded query string containing name/value pairs.
Returns
Nothing.
Description
Method; converts the variable string to properties of the specified LoadVars object.
This method is used internally by the
LoadVars.onData event handler. Most users do not need
to call this method directly. If you override the
LoadVars.onData event handler, you can
explicitly call
LoadVars.decode() to parse a string of variables.
Example
The following example traces the three variables:
// Create a new LoadVars object
var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
//Convert the variable string to properties
my_lv.decode("name=Mort&score=250000");
