Hi Matthew,
This is pretty old and I barely remember anything about it other than that
it was a good way of keeping the http packets clean in F5. If you're not
restricted by the player, I would suggest thinking about using loadVars
instead of getURL, but if you are limited to F5 the idea is pretty simple.
In this case there was a DummyDataLoader Clip on the stage that could be
duplicated and thus would have a clean scope. Then you put variables in it
and call loadVariables from it. Seems pretty lame at this point, but it
worked with F5 and kept the http from geting cluttered. loadVars is really
better if you can use the 6 or 7 player.
This used get with loadVariables. The DummyDataLoader was a clip on the
timeline
// this function sends the login screen information to the server
function sendLoginInfo(username, accesscode, server, servlet){
var loginCommand;
duplicateMovieClip ( DummyDataLoader, "DDLNew", 10 );
if (connect_mode == "relative") {
loginCommand = "debug/bio.dat";
DDLNew.loadVariables(loginCommand);
}
else {
loginCommand = servlet;
if (connect_mode == "projector") {
loginCommand = server + loginCommand;
}
DDLNew.command = "inst-login";
DDLNew.username = username;
DDLNew.accesscode = accesscode;
DDLNew.loadVariables(loginCommand,"GET");
}
CurrentDummyDataLoader = DDLNew;
}
The dummyDataLoader would have some code to call the parent when the data
was loaded.
onClipEvent (data) {
_parent.BioInformationLoaded();
}

This is a bit of a headache since I have lots of them and don't want to send
unnecessary packets (POST method) or make an unnecessarily ugly URL (GET
method).
Is there a way to instruct getURL() to only used "opted in" variables? There
are 3 known variables that I want sent, and the rest can just go to hell,
for all I care.
Tnks for any help. :)
