I have an email form in a flash file. Currently I am using the send variables coding as for whatever reason, it doesn’t function if I use loadvariables:

Here’s what I have set up on my submit button:

on(release)  
{  
if(form.name == “” || form.phone == “” || form.email == “” || form.message == “”)  
{  
form.gotoAndStop (3);  
}  
else  
{  
var lv = new LoadVars();  
lv.name = form.name;  
lv.phone = form.phone;  
lv.email = form.email;  
lv.message = form.message;  
lv.send(“contact2.asp”, 0, “POST”);  
form.gotoAndStop(2);  
}  
}

My problem is that on submit, the contact2.asp comes up when I hit submit. Is there a way to avoid having that page come up and keep it on the flash page?

Thanks,  
Dave
