Hello Kirupians, I need some urgent help:  
I’m working on a website for a client that’s entirely built in AS3. Right now I’m building a newsletter section, and want to use an AS2 .swf to send/load variables to PHP.

Loading the AS2 swf into the AS3 environment works fine. Everything seems to work, animations are fine, input text fields work.

But when I try to send / load variables like this:

```php
this.loadVariables(_projectPath + "newsletter/newsletter.php", "post");

```

nothing happens.

Does any of you know if this is even possible and/or should work?

Thanks!

- edit - : I just tested the AS2 SWF on it’s own, and it works! But it appears to stop working inside an as3 environment… Strange!
