Creates a new URLVariables object. You pass URLVariables objects to the data property of URLRequest objects.

If you call the URLVariables constructor with a string, the decode() method is automatically called to convert the string to properties of the URLVariables object.

Converts the variable string to properties of the specified URLVariables object.

This method is used internally by the URLVariables events. Most users do not need to call this method directly.

Parameters

Returns a string containing all enumerable variables, in the MIME content encoding application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

Highlights of the example follow:

1. The constructor function creates a URLRequest instance named request, taking the URL of the remote application as a parameter.
2. A URLVariables object is created and two of its properties are assigned values.
3. The URLVariables object is assigned to the data property of the URLRequest object.
4. The example calls navigateToURL, which opens a new browser window to the remote application's URL.

Note: To run the example, the remote application URL in the example must be replaced with a working URL. Additionally, you would need server code to process the information captured by Flash Player in the URLVariables object.

package {
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.net.navigateToURL;
    import flash.net.URLRequest;
    import flash.net.URLVariables;

    public class URLVariablesExample extends Sprite {

        public function URLVariablesExample() {
            var url:String = "http://www.[yourDomain].com/application.jsp";
            var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
            var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
            variables.exampleSessionId = new Date().getTime();
            variables.exampleUserLabel = "guest";
            request.data = variables;
            navigateToURL(request);
        }
    }
}
