Sending POST with Flash

[Nummi_G4]

Hi all,

I am making a Flash site (yeah I know, Flash, blah) for a clothing store. You can go to the site, select the color and size of a certain shirt in Flash, then hit the add to cart button. I need the Flash button to send data through the POST method to paypal (I have the field names that need to be sent).

I have been trying to get this working locally with a test PHP page that accepts POST variables. Here is part of the AcrionScript:

storeVars.send("test.php", "_blank", "POST");

I've Googled the hell out of this problem and the above is the best I can come up with (not sure if I'm even headed in the right direction).

Any help would be great. Thanks.

dataSender1 = new LoadVars();

send.onRelease = function () {
		dataSender1.var1 = var1.text;
		dataSender1.var2 = "value";
		dataSender1.send("test.php", "_blank" , "POST");
};

this should work, (with send being a movie clip or button) the php file would get var1 and var2.

but it's been a while since I've done anything in flash so it might not, try www.actionscript.org if it doesn't loads of good info on the forum.

MrFluffy, bless you.

Here is my final code for anyone that needs this function.

on (release) {	
	dataSender1 = new LoadVars();
	dataSender1.objectSize = "thisIsValueOne";
	dataSender1.send("test.php", "_blank" , "POST");
}

edit: you got it while I was posting

yeah, it should open it in a new window, although I think the code would need to be

dataSender1 = new LoadVars();

on (release) {
        dataSender1.objectSize = "thisIsValueOne";
        dataSender1.send("test.php", "_blank" , "POST");
}
