326 Chapter 6: ActionScript Core Classes

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().

The value you pass for

url must be in exactly the same domain. 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 “Applying Flex Security” in Developing

Flex Applications.

This method is similar to

XML.sendAndLoad().
