Correct answer Greg Dove

Use

myLV.send(" http://localhost/yourtestscript.php","_blank","POST");

instead of sendAndLoad (sorry I thought you were doing that already)

where your php test page contains the code I gave earlier
It will show that php has access to the string version of the array, by just printing it back for the browser to show.

no problems. good luck with the next step manipulating it in php. I'll have to work on learning the server side stuff... I'm completely lost there!

yeah i publish the movie to html and when I draw from the browser, not php page opens up . When I try to open the php page there aren't any values there.

Can you please guide me how I can display values in the php.

Thanks

All that does is confirm that php has received it though... You will have to convert it back to an array in php and do whatever else you want with it.

That's the part where it only works from the browser... I knew it was there somewhere! Flash sends GET with the send method from the IDE even if you say to send POST.

So it will work if you run the swf in a browser

Check the code above now... that should at least report no errors. I didn't expect autoFormat to introduce them so didn't check it after I autoFormatted!

That's bizarre. autoFormat did that. I used undo and got an error free version. I'll correct the code above
