Question

Is it possible to POST a few variables to a new browser window (_blank for example) in as2? I can’t seem to find any examples via Google.

Obviously for GET I could use getURL(url,target) but I can’t find any similar functions for post.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Answer 1

Use LoadVars.send method.

public send(url: String, target: String, [method: String]) : Boolean

Parameters

url: String – A string; the URL to which to upload variables.

target: String – A string; the browser window or frame in which any
response will appear. You can enter the name of a specific window or
select from the following reserved target names:

“_self” specifies the current frame in the current window. “_blank”
specifies a new window. “_parent” specifies the parent of the current
frame. “_top” specifies the top-level frame in the current window.

method: String [optional] – A string; the GET or POST method of the
HTTP protocol. The default value is POST.
