Right. That's because you're using POST - when you are in Flash, you use GET
regardless if you said "post" in the LoadVars.send(). That's why you see thu
params in the address bar - you don't see them when you use POST. PHP still
gets the values though...what exactly isn't working? Also, it's better to
use sendAndLoad - just send will replace the page you're viewing.
