ah great.  LoadVars is what I had hoped to use.  Nice to know that I
can just append a querystring.

I did, but Flash Remoting an additional server app.  I'm working on a

not sending any complex data, no objects so I shouldn't need it, I
think.

If not, you'll see another post.

I really appreciate the response, thanks!
