When I call php script from action script e.g. to send a mail …

on (release) {  
var\_mail = new loadVars();  
var\_mail.name = \_root.mail\_meno;  
var\_mail.email = \_root.mail\_email;  
var\_mail.text = \_root.mail\_text;  
var\_mail.send (“sendmail.php”, “POST”);  
}

I don’t need opened window (with php script). I just want to send a mail without any visualisation of new window. How can I do it ?

Thans for you help.

send(url,windows,variables);  
url:no explanation required. eg:sendmail.php in your case  
windows:  
\_self=opens the new url in the current window;  
\_blank=opens the new url in a new window;

variables:  
GET=appends variables to the URL  
POST=sends variables in a separate HTTP header.

So, change your send to:  
send.(“sendmail.php”,\_self,“POST”);
