LoadVars.send()
Availability
Flash Player 6.
Usage
my_lv.send(url
[,target, method])
Parameters
url
The URL to upload variables to.
target The browser frame window in which any response will be displayed.
method The GET or POST method of the HTTP protocol.
Returns
A string.
Description
Method; sends the variables in the my_lv object to the specified URL. All enumerable variables in
my_lv are concatenated into a string in the application/x-www-form-urlencoded format by default,
and the string is posted to the URL using the HTTP
POST method. This is the same format used
by the
loadVariables() action. The MIME content type sent in the HTTP request headers is
the value of
my_lv.contentType, or the default application/x-www-form-urlencoded. The POST
method is used unless
GET is specified.
If the
target parameter is specified, the server’s response is displayed in the browser frame
window named target. If the
target parameter is omitted, the server’s response is discarded.
This method is similar to
XML.send().
