26 Flash Lite Global Functions
To load variables into a specific level, use the
loadVariablesNum()
function instead of the
loadVariables()
function.
Example
The following examples load variables from a text file and from a server:
// load variables from text file on local file system (Symbian Series 60)
on(release, keyPress "1") {
filePath = "file://c:/documents/flash/myApp/myvariables.txt";
loadVariables(filePath, _root);
}
// load variables (from server) into a movieclip
urlPath = "http://www.someserver.com/myvariables.txt";
loadVariables(urlPath, "myClip_mc");

loadVariablesNum( url , level [, variables ])
Operands
url
A string representing an absolute or relative URL where the variables to be loaded are
located. If the SWF file issuing this call is running in a web browser,
url
must be in the same
domain as the SWF file; for more information, see the following Description section.
level
An integer that specifies the level in Flash Lite to receive the variables.
variables
An optional string parameter specifying an HTTP method for sending
variables. The parameter must be the string
GET
or
POST
. If there are no variables to be sent,
omit this parameter. The
GET
method appends the variables to the end of the URL and is used
for small numbers of variables. The
POST
method sends the variables in a separate HTTP
header and is used for long strings of variables.
