Opener Window... Navigate To URL?

Question

Ok so my main window is going to open up a popup window, the popup window is going to contain a Flex app.

The flex app is going to need to navigatToURL() but also send POST data along with it.

However instead of the popup-window navigating, I would like to main-window to navigate to the url and recieve the post vars.

Is this possible?

Thanks!

You would have to use ExternalInterface to call a javascript function in your popup window (Your Flex app does not know that it is in a popup window).

IN the function, you'll need to submit a form through the opener (you can call a javascript function of the opener like this: window.opener.func();)

See this link for more information on ExternalInterface.
