All,  
I have a button on my page and when I click it, I’d like a sendAndLoad event to happen. The button’s instance name is button. I’m not sure how to get the sendAndLoad to be activated when the button (in this case a submit button) is pressed. I know that sendAndLoad is with the LoadVars class so I’m not sure it can even be called within a button actions. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Here is the sendAndLoad I’m trying to use:

```auto

var send_mc:LoadVars = new LoadVars(); 

send_mc.name_field = this.name_field; 
send_mc.memory= this.memory;

send_mc.sendAndLoad("http://localhost/xampp/site/new_memory.php", send_mc, "POST"); 

```

Thanks in advance!
