Does this only apply if the url is external? Do we get anything if we use getURL to call a javascript function in our html wrapper?
I have been building delimited strings to pass arguments up to the wrapper. Is there a better way?

Hi, You can pass variable to external script using getURL(...), getURL(..) sends all variable declared in current scope. Infact getURL(..) sends all variable declared, that means it sends unwanted stuff also. But I think, you can use LoadVars object for such kind of work. LoadVars gives more control and looks more clean. I am not sure why you launching external page and passing variable, but following example might help you. ##LoadVarsExample.mxml## <mx:Application width="800" height="600" xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml";> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ function sendVars() { //create LoadVars instance var _lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars(); //create properties _lv.name = "Abdul"; _lv.age = 24; _lv.send("http://localhost/echo.asp","_blank";, "GET"); } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:Button label="Send Vars" click="sendVars()"/> </mx:Application> More about LoadVars: http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/action_scripts/actionscript_dict iona ry/actionscript_dictionary427.html Hope that helps... -abdul -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of sbyrne_dorado Sent: Friday, May 20, 2005 4:06 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] passing variables using getURL? I'm having problems figuring out how to pass variables using getURL. The documentation that I can find seems to indicate that any random variable that you declare that's in some (unspecified) scope, will be appended (for GET) or passed (for POST) as parameters along with the URL. So I have tried setting some typed local variables and invoking getURL; no luck. No luck with either POST or GET. What's the magic? Do the variables have to be in the top level application? Do they have to be global within the the containing class? Does this functionality even work at all? Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo!
