Sending a url as a var

[Joe Roe]

I have an input text field named youtube. I want to open a url and send the youtube var as post. Here is what I have:

Code:

getURL("http://www.downloader9.com/youtube.php", "_blank", "POST");

When i populate my text field with

Code:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=ayzhJKy8H_A

The var ends up being sent like this:

Code:

http%3A%2F%2Fyoutube%2Ecom%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DayzhJKy8H%5FA

any help here?

This is exactly the way it works - it is URL-encoded.
If this is the right URL, it should be working.

BTW: if you would like to add the parameter to the URL-Address, use GET

It does not work when the flash movie is saved as a projector, and it does not work when the flash movie is opened with the flash player, but it does work when the swf is opened with a browser. Is there any way to make it work when the movie is saved as a projector?

SANDBOX SECURITY

You cannot open foreign sources from a local swf movie.

If you want to communicate with your server, put the swf to the server, and it will work.
This is the purpose of the sandbox - no foreign code.
