loadVariablesNum(

[,
method:String

: Void
Reads data from an external file, such as a text file or text generated by ColdFusion, a CGI
script, ASP, PHP, or a Perl script, and sets the values for variables in a Flash Player level. You
can also use this function 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=601+Townsend&city=San+Francisco&zip=94103
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. 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,
url
must be in exactly the same
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. For more
information, see "About allowing cross-domain data loading" in
Using ActionScript in Flash
.
If you want to load variables into a target MovieClip, use
loadVariables()
instead of
loadVariablesNum()
.
Availability:
ActionScript 1.0; Flash Lite 1.1 - Behavior changed in Flash Player 7. Flash 4
files opened in Flash 5 or later are converted to use the correct syntax.
Parameters
url
:
String
- An absolute or relative URL where the variables 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 details, see the Description section.
level
:
Number
- An integer specifying the level in Flash Player to receive the variables.
