The parameters for the send method above are:  
(url, target, method), while yours only has (url, method).

What you could do is include a second parameter like \_blank, \_parent, \_self or \_top (I can’t exactly figure out what you want to do).

so for instance your send method should look like:

```auto

 my_lv.send("http://myURL", "_blank", "POST");
 

```

That should solve your problem I think. If it doesn’t please let me know 🙂

\_black… Opens new browser window, new page, something that I don’t want…

I’ll try with XML…

Thanks everybody…

I’m having the same problem too!!  
Sorry to borrow your thread who.

Heres my code:

[COLOR=Red]myData = new LoadVars();  
myData.Gender = “M”;  
myData.ExID = 1;  
myData.send(“getexercise.php”);

myData.onLoad = function (success) {  
trace(this.\_path) // will output “\_level0"  
if (success) {  
trace (” variables loaded ");  
trace(myData.MuscleDesc0);  
myName.text = myData.MuscleDesc0;

```
} else {
    trace (" Error loading variables "); 
}

```

}  
[/COLOR]

what happens is. it opens a new window and on my output window, it doesn’t even show whether if the “variables loaded” or “Error loading variables”. Its blank. Some do help.

And how can I get the data out from the php script below:

[COLOR=Blue]\<?php  
require\_once("…/class/clsExerciseEducation.php");

$theEx = new ExerciseEducation;

if(isset($\_GET[‘Gender’]) && isset($\_GET[‘ExID’]))  
{  
$result = $theEx-\>getExercise($\_GET[‘Gender’], $\_GET[‘ExID’]);  
$c = 0;  
while($row=mysql\_fetch\_array($result)){  
echo “MuscleDesc$c=$row[muscle\_description]&Name$c=$row[name]&ExID$c=$row[ex\_id]&”;  
$c++;  
}  
echo “c =$c”;  
}  
?\>[/COLOR]

Many thanks!

Hey I figured out using sendAndLoad function could help.

what you do in ur Flash is:

my\_lv = new LoadVars();  
my\_recLv = new LoadVars();

my\_lv.baseId = \_parent.baseId\_text.text;  
my\_lv.sendAndLoad(“[http://myURL](http://myURL)”,my\_recLv, “POST”);

And use my\_recLv as the object which received the data from your URL.

Hope it helps.
