if you want to jsut send inforamtion without showing page use sendAndLoad, don’t worry you don’t have to load, but it will send 😛 [http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/action\_scripts/actionscript\_dictionary/actionscript\_dictionary435.html](http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/action_scripts/actionscript_dictionary/actionscript_dictionary435.html) ---

```auto var sendform:LoadVars = new LoadVars(); sendform.id = 0; sendform.status = "C"; sendform.sendAndLoad("webform1.asp", sendform, "POST"); sendform.onLoad = function(){ trace ("you sent! (but you didn't load)") }; ``` ---

I bet it connected and you didin’t even know becasue it didn’t open a new page. What happens when you just type your url w/ variables in the browser? What exactly is this ASP page doing? ---

> [@Defective](#): > > I bet it connected and you didin’t even know becasue it didn’t open a new page. What happens when you just type your url w/ variables in the browser? What exactly is this ASP page doing? well for now what the asp page is receiving the id and the status, if it receives the id, then a new module should open up… and we are just doing that to test if its connecting… so this time we are not getting any respond… yes a new page didn’t open up… we continue with our movie… but there is no connection with the asp… we have the asp to respond to us if this is receiving the values… apparently is not. ---
