LoadVars.toString() 433
Description
Method; posts variables in the
my_lv
object to the specified URL. The server response
is downloaded, parsed as variable data, and the resulting variables are placed in the
targetObject
object.
Variables are posted in the same manner as
LoadVars.send()
. Variables are downloaded into
targetObject
in the same manner as
LoadVars.load()
.
In SWF files running in a version of the player earlier than Flash Player 7,
url
must be in the
same superdomain as the SWF file that is issuing this call. For example, a SWF file at
www.someDomain.com can load variables from a SWF file at store.someDomain.com, because
both files are in the same superdomain of someDomain.com.
In SWF files of any version running in Flash Player 7 or later,
url
must be in exactly the same
domain (see “Flash Player security features” on page 188 ). For example, a SWF file at
www.someDomain.com can load variables only from SWF files that are also at
www.someDomain.com. If you want to load variables from a different domain, you can place a
cross-domain policy file on the server hosting the SWF file that is being accessed. For more
information, see “About allowing cross-domain data loading” on page 190 .
This method is similar to
XML.sendAndLoad()
.
