I have this tetris game that i am trying to send the vars ( lines cleared, username, and password) to a php file for processing but i guess im coding the actionscript wrong.

I have this in the root:

```auto
_root.add_pass = "{password}";
	_root.name = _root.Loser.username;
	_root.score = _root.lines_cleared;
stop();

```

And the following in a “loser” movie clip thgat appears after a game when the user can input their name for the score to be saved.

```auto
submit1.onPress = function () {
	getURL("new_score.php", "_blank", "POST");
}
stop();

```

Its supposed to POST the vars to the php file on submit.

what am I doing wrong?

The “game” movie clip contains most of the scripts. Is it necessary to add that movie clip after \_root in the code above?

probably has to do with global vars being turned off. Its a PHP problem, not a Flash problem… check out this thread:

See how, the first 3 lines of the PHP file I use the $\_POST[’’]; array to grab the variables? You have to do that with each of your variables in the Flash file and it should work just fine.
