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");
