[CS3] using getURL to send variables

Hi,

I'm trying to launch a website today and we have a navigable flash banner as one of the main sections. One of the features of this section is the ability to 'Send to a friend'. Up until now I've been using "getURL" to send an address out of flash to a script that then handles the rest of the process. It all works fine except the method causes flash to open a new blank window with the URL sitting there in the address bar which obviously isn't ideal for a number of reasons.

How can I hide this process from the user? Currently, the url that is output is in the format of:

***.com/flash_post/process_flash_post/index/54tdr9kgfdlgmdklk/[email protected]&pathWay=inspirationinformatio n

I'm a pretty new user to AS so please bare this in mind if offering help.

Thanks so much!

PHP Code:

---

var loader = new LoadVars();
loader.email = "[email protected]";
loader.pathWay = "inspirationinformation";
loader.sendAndLoad("domain.com/serversidescript.php",loader,"POST");

my 2's a little rusty but that should work
