problem sending vars from flash to php

having an unusual problem sending vars to php. it is sending the var but my flash game is being unloaded off the site once the var is sent.

if there is another way to send VARS please let me know, OR maybe my code is wrong. any suggestions will be greatly appreciated :)

Code:

---

function sender()
{
        varsToSend = new LoadVars();
        varsToSend.var1 = beatTimer;
        varsToSend.var2 = enemyScore;
        varsToSend.var3 = playerScore;
        varsToSend.var4 = beatTimer;
        varsToSend.var5 = flawless;
        varsToSend.var6 = comeBack;
        varsToSend.send("http://code.com/gamefiles/gg_test.php","_self","POST")
                trace(varsToSend);
}

I've never actually used LoadVars, but I tested your code and it opens a new window from Flash, and since you're window parameter is set to _self, the window will be replaced with your current one, which I think is why your movie gets unloaded. However, I think you rather should use this code to send variables:

Actionscript Code:

loadVariablesNum("myfile.php", 0, "POST");

Then, in your PHP file, type something similar to this:

Actionscript Code:

$var1 = $_POST['beatTimer'];
$var2 = $_POST['enemyScore'];
$var3 = $_POST['playerScore'];
$var4 = $_POST['beatTimer'];
$var5 = $_POST['flawless'];
$var6 = $_POST['comeBack'];

and if I'm not mistaken, those PHP variables should hold the information sent from Flash. I've only tried loadVariablesNum with dynamic text variables, but not with normal variables, but I'm pretty sure it'll work!
