Since there is no explanation of problem, I'm guessing you mean you have these errors?
Access of undefined property varLoader.
Access of undefined property varSend.
Implicit coercion of a value of type flash.net:URLRequest to an unrelated type Class
They speak for themselves. You did not declare the variables so they are undefined...
Declare as : var NAME : TYPE = VALUE;
Example : var myLoader : URLLoader = new URLLoader; defines a variable named myLoader.
Your Code example:
// Build the varSend variable
varSend: URLRequest = new URLRequest("from_parse.php");
varSend.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
varSend.data = variables;
Should be
// Build the varSend variable
var varSend: URLRequest = new URLRequest("from_parse.php");
varSend.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
varSend.data = variables;
So the fixes are :
code : varLoader: URLLoader = new URLLoader;
fixed : var varLoader: URLLoader = new URLLoader;
code : varSend: URLRequest = new URLRequest("from_parse.php");
fixed : var varSend: URLRequest = new URLRequest("from_parse.php");
The above var varSend (now defined) will also fix error from : varLoader.load(varSend);
PS:
It would be more helpful (to you & future readers) to make your code more readable like so:
// Build the Sending variable
var mySend: URLRequest = new URLRequest("from_parse.php");
mySend.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
mySend.data = variables;
// Build the Loading variable
var myLoader: URLLoader = new URLLoader;
myLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
// Send the data to PHP now
myLoader.load(mySend);
