send post with AS 3.0

Question

I want to submit a form in flash and send the user to an other page in html/php and get the post information on that page. How can i do this?

Answer 1

// create a URLRequest object with the target URL:
var url : String = 'newpage.html';
var urlRequest : URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);

// create a URLVariables object and add all the values you want to send with their identifiers:
var urlVariables : URLVariables = new URLVariables();
urlVariables['formfieldId'] = 'formfieldValue';

// add the urlVariables to the urlRequest
urlRequest.data = urlVariables;

// set the method to post (default is GET)
urlRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;

// use navigateToURL to send the urlRequest, use '_self' to open in the same window
navigateToURL(urlRequest, '_self');
