ActionGetURL2

ActionGetURL2 gets a URL and is stack based.

Field	Type	Comment
ActionGetURL2	ACTIONRECORDHEADER	ActionCode = 0x9A Length is always 1
SendVarsMethod	UB[2]	0 = None; 1 = GET 2 = POST
Reserved	UB[4]	Always 0
LoadTargetFlag	UB[1]	0 = Target is a browser window 1 = Target is a path to a sprite
LoadVariablesFlag	UB[1]	0 = No variables to load 1 = Load variables

ActionGetURL2 does the following:

1. Pops target off the stack.
   • A LoadTargetFlag value of 0 indicates that the target is a window. The target can be an empty string to indicate the current window.
   • A LoadTargetFlag value of 1 indicates that the target is a path to a sprite. The target path can be in slash or dot syntax.
2. Pops a URL off the stack; the URL specifies the URL to be retrieved.
3. SendVarsMethod specifies the method to use for the HTTP request.
   • A SendVarsMethod value of 0 indicates that this is not a form request, so the movie clip’s variables should not be encoded and submitted.
   • A SendVarsMethod value of 1 specifies a HTTP GET request.
   • A SendVarsMethod value of 2 specifies a HTTP POST request.
4. If the SendVarsMethod value is 1 (GET) or 2 (POST), the variables in the current movie clip are submitted to the URL by using the standard x-www-form-urlencoded encoding and the HTTP request method specified by method.

If the LoadVariablesFlag is set, the server is expected to respond with a MIME type of application/x-www-form- urlencoded and a body in the format var1=value1&var2=value2&...&varx=valuex. This response is used to populate ActionScript variables rather than display a document. The variables populated can be in a timeline (if LoadTargetFlag is 0) or in the specified sprite (if LoadTargetFlag is 1).

If the LoadTargetFlag is specified without the LoadVariablesFlag, the server is expected to respond with a MIME type of application/x-shockwave-flash and a body that consists of a SWF file. This response is used to load a subfile into the specified sprite rather than to display an HTML document.
