Hi there

I’m having problem when inputting data into a database through Flash. I have some text fields in Flash and a submit button. When the button is pressed, the data is sent through the following code:

```auto

getURL("(fileOnMyServer).php","_blank","POST");

```

I’m using the POST method, but why my variables sent are all seen in the address bar like this:

…highscores/new\_score.php?player\_name=test48&time\_complete=489&resources=379&accuracy=34&combo=598&general=69

Thanks in advance.
