sending POST data to an ASP file

[zeroreality]

i saw the code somewhere to do it, it was something LIKE this
im looking for clarification

new loadVars()
loadVars[0] = somevar
loadVars[1] = somevar
loadVars[2] = somevar
loadvars.send()

little help?

or am i WAY off?

hi,

you'll need to start by creating an instance of the loadVars object:
sendLV = new LoadVars();

and assign properties to that object to pass to your asp page:
sendLV.myName = some var;
sendLV.myPhone = some other var;

i would recommend using sendAndLoad so you can get some sort of response from the server after you have sent your info.
response = new LoadVars();

set the callback function after you recieve your response:
response.onLoad = getResponse; //func to call onLoad below

send it:
sendLV.sendAndLoad("yourPage.asp", response, "POST");

callback function:
function getResponse() {
_root.myTextFieldInstanceName = response.flashVarPassedBack;
}


you can find more info under the LoadVars object in help.

Hope this helps some,
Dunc

thanx a bunch
i got it working with a different method tho

turns out that Flash 5 and FlashMX have very different ways of handling POST data

i used this

onClipEvent (load) {
	queryString = "SELECT ";
	queryString += "Sales_Code, ";
	queryString += "Name, ";
	queryString += "Extension ";
	queryString += "FROM corp_reps ";
	queryString += "WHERE Name != '' ";
	queryString += "AND Extension != 0 ";
	queryString += "ORDER BY Sales_Code ";
	loadStatus = false;
	loadVariables (_root.moviePath+"getdata.asp", this, "POST");
}
onClipEvent (data) {
	if (loadStatus == "true") {
		_root.make2DArray("corpArray", returnString);
	}
	else if (loadStatus == "error") {
		trace("ono, broken")
	}
}
