LoadVars.sendAndLoad()

Availability

Flash Player 6; behavior changed in Flash Player 7.

Usage

my_lv.sendAndLoad(url, targetObject[, method])

Parameters

url The URL to upload variables to. 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," below.

targetObject The LoadVars object that receives the downloaded variables.

method The GET or POST method of the HTTP protocol.

Returns

A string.

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. For example, a SWF file at www.someDomain.com can load variables from a SWF file 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). For example, a SWF file at www.someDomain.com can load variables only from SWF files that are also at www.someDomain.com. If you want to load variables from a different domain, you can place a cross-domain policy file on the server hosting the SWF file that is being accessed. For more information, see About allowing cross-domain data loading.

This method is similar to XML.sendAndLoad().
