Is there an easy way to submit a form with flash where the input text values would not be displayed in thr url?

I want to have a form in a movie that will post to an asp file. The asp will request the data and forward appropriately. The browser should go to the file directly. Nothing behind the scenes. Sort of like a geturl but I want the variables hidden.

Define easy! Best way I think would be to send using serverside script, but
you might wanna elaborate a little on what you want.

Actually I figured out what was wrong. The button was in a movie clip and i was applying the action to the movie clip.

Now when I apply the action to a new button, it works. But if I apply the action to a button in a movie clip, it doesn't work. It goes to the new url, but doesn't pass along the variables. Maybe I have to have all of it in the same movie clip?

So, I still don't see the problem. Evrything can be done 'behind the
scenes'; just send the variables to an asp page that deals with them. Just
created something with php, and nothing appears in adressbars or whatever.
Maybe look up a tutorial on sending form through flash. I've found some woth
PHP as intermediate. There must also be with asp.

Check the paths; obviously that is the problem if code stops working when
moved from one timeline to another.
