public send(url:String, [target:String], method:String) : Boolean

Encodes the specified XML object into an XML document, and sends it to the specified URL using the POST method in a browser. The Flash test environment only uses the GET method.

Parameters

url:String - String; the destination URL for the specified XML object.

target:String [optional] - String; the browser window to show data that the server returns:

• _self specifies the current frame in the current window.
• _blank specifies a new window.
• _parent specifies the parent of the current frame.
• _top specifies the top-level frame in the current window.

  If you do not specify a window parameter, it is the same as specifying _self.

Example

The following example defines an XML packet and sets the content type for the XML object. The data is then sent to a server and shows a result in a browser window.

var my_xml:XML = new XML("<highscore><name>Ernie</name>
<score>13045</score></highscore>");
my_xml.contentType = "text/xml";
my_xml.send("http://www.flash-mx.com/mm/highscore.cfm", "_blank");
