Ok I have:  
getURL("(site)","\_self", “POST”);  
But how do I make it use POST instead of GET?

Note that the Flash MX IDE will always use GET, even if you specify POST. Therefore, test it in a browser window instead of the Flash IDE.

Yeah well the person found out I was using different variables than the ones he wanted.
