loadVariables function

loadVariables(url:String, target:Object [, method:String]) : Void
Reads data from an external file, such as a text file or text generated by ColdFusion, a CGI
script, Active Server Pages (ASP), PHP, or Perl script, and sets the values for variables in a
target movie clip. This action can also be used to update variables in the active SWF file with
new values.
The text at the specified URL must be in the standard MIME format application/x-www-
form-urlencoded (a standard format used by CGI scripts). Any number of variables can be
specified. For example, the following phrase defines several variables:
company=Macromedia&address=600+Townsend&city=San+Francisco&zip=94103
In SWF files running in a version earlier than Flash Player 7,
superdomain as the SWF file that is issuing this call. A superdomain is derived by removing
the leftmost component of a file's URL. For example, a SWF file at www.someDomain.com
can load data from a source 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,
domain as the SWF file that is issuing this call (see "Flash Player security features" in Using
ActionScript in Flash). For example, a SWF file at www.someDomain.com can load data only
from sources that are also at www.someDomain.com. If you want to load data 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" in
Using ActionScript in Flash.
