    Forms and databases

    I'm trying to send data to a database on a different server. It works when I test my swf locally, but when i upload on the web, it doesn't work. Any suggestions why? I'm using this to send the data...
    on (release) {
    // Now import the variables we
    // need to send in this movie clip
    first_name = _parent.firstName.text;
    last_name = _parent.lastName.text;
    address1 = _parent.address1.text;
    address2 = _parent.address2.text;
    city = _parent.city.text;
    state = _parent.state.text;
    zip = _parent.zip.text;
    email = _parent.email.text;
    // all the vars we just imported
    // will be sent via POST method now
    loadVariables("http://www.myphp.php", this, "POST");
    // the server...
    this.onData = function() {
    for (var a in this) {
    trace([a, this[a]]);
    }
    // ok, next frame which has a thanks screen
    _parent.nextFrame();
    if (this.output == 'sent') {
    // in case of success
    _parent.errTitle = "Thank You.";
    _parent.errType = "Your message has been succesfully sent.";
    } else {
    // else
    _parent.errTitle = "Error!";
    _parent.errType = "Attention, an error occurred while processing your message. Please try again later.";
    }
    };
    }

    If you are trying to read/send data to a server other than the one the flash movie is located on you need to define a cross-domain policy file:
