Answer 2

To send data back to your server, you can write:

var sender = new LoadVars();

sender.x = "xxx";

sender.y = "yyy";

sender.z = "zzz";

sender.send("http://www.yourdomain.com/yourscript.php", "", "post")

To sendAndLoad

In case you want to get back data at the same time you send your data back to the server, you can use the sendAndLoad api:

var loader = new LoadVars();

loader.onLoad = function(success) {

  if(success) {

    // read your data here, e.g.

    trace(this.x); // suppose the server send back a variable x

    trace(this.y); // and a variable y

  }

}

var sender = new LoadVars();

sender.x = "xxx";

sender.sendAndLoad("http://www.yourdomain.com/yourscript.php", loader, "post");
