LoadVars.toString() Method

retrieve the same URL-encoded string of variables that would be sent by send() or sendAndLoad()

Flash 6

loadVarsObject.toString()

Returns

A string of URL-encoded variables.

Description

The toString( ) method returns the enumerable properties of loadVarsObject as a string of

URL-encoded variables (the enumerable properties are those exposed to a for-in loop). It

returns the same data that would be sent to a server script in a send( ) or sendAndLoad( )

call, which is handy for debugging. Properties are added to the returned string in the

reverse order of their creation (the most recently created property is first in the string,

followed by the second most recently created, and so on). Each property’s value is

converted to a string before being URL encoded.

Example

loadedVars = new LoadVars();

loadedVars.day = 22;

loadedVars.month = "Feb.";
