FLASH: Using load variables with a base url

[Mike Chambers]

Does Load Variables work with the "base URL" tag?


For instance I have the following:


Load Movie ("foo.html", "_level0", vars=POST)

Get URL ("foo.html", vars=POST)



In my object tag which serves the flash i have the following:


<param name="base"  value="http://foo.domain.com/dir/">



The GetURL will work and will redirect the user to:

http://foo.domain.com/dir/foo.html


However, the Load Variables does not even try to make the request to

the URL (I am watching it through a proxy).


I am serving and redirecting the ads to the same domain (domain.com),

but they are served and redirected to different machines.


They are served from http://www.domain.com/foo.swf

and try to load their variables from

http://foo.domain.com/dir/foo.html


Do anyone know if the base attribute only works with GetURL and not

with Load Variables?


Any help or input would appreciated...


Thanks...
