I have two text fields. One is named txtFoo and the other is txtBar. They have numbers in them. When I click the btnSubmit I want the txtFoo.text and txtBar.text to be sent to a php file. Below is my code:

```auto
var variables:URLVariables=new URLVariables;
var varSend:URLRequest=new URLRequest("myURL.cgi");
varSend.method=URLRequestMethod.POST;
varSend.data=variables;
var varLoader:URLLoader=new URLLoader;
varLoader.dataFormat=URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
varLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,completeHandler);

function completeHandler(evt:Event):void{
    varLoader.load(varSend);
}

function submit(evt:MouseEvent):void{
    variables.foo=txtFoo.text;
    variables.bar=txtBar.text;
    varLoader.load(varSend);
}
btnSubmit.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,submit);

```

I’m getting the error message below:

Error: Error #2101: The String passed to URLVariables.decode() must be a URL-encoded query string containing name/value pairs.
