Hey is there any way to use the getURL command without it actually opening a new page? What I’m really doing is sending variables to a php page and inserting data into a database, but when i use LoadVars and LoadVars.send it’s not workin for some reason. So I tried a simple getURL and that also sends the variables to the page and that works for me, but I don’t want the users to see a new window popup or for the one theyre in to go to a new URL… Any thoughts? Maybe I’ll post my LoadVars code too just to make sure I did that correctly… but I copied and pasted it from another LoadVars object in the same flash program that is working correctly (both sending AND loading variables)… thanks for any help!
