variables
A GET
or POST
method for sending variables. If there are no variables, 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 sending long strings of variables.
Returns
Nothing.
Description
Action; loads a document from a specific URL into a window or passes variables to another application at a defined URL. To test this action, make sure the file to be loaded is at the specified location. To use an absolute URL (for example, http://www.myserver.com
), you need a network connection.
Example
This example loads a new URL into a blank browser window. The getURL
action targets the variable incomingAd
as the url
parameter so that you can change the loaded URL without having to edit the Flash movie. The incomingAd
variable's value is passed into Flash earlier in the movie using a loadVariables
action.
on(release) { getURL(incomingAd, "_blank"); }
