You're screwed. It won't work the way you want to.
Here's what you can *try*, though:
1) pre-open a window in the background. Name it "foo"
or whatever in the window.open() call.
2) send your variables to the form with a target of
"foo"
myVars = new LoadVars();
myVars.bar = "baz";
myVars.ack = "teh sux";
on(release) {
getURL("javascript:window.open(......)");
myVars.send("http://where.your.form/is/at.cgi";, "foo", "GET");
}
That *may* work but I don't gaurantee it.
