//
outgoingData = new LoadVars();
//
outgoingData.firstName = "Fred";
//
outgoingData.send("formCatcher.aspx","_self","POST");
//

This actionscript will post the variable "firstName" to "formCatcher.aspx"
just like an html form would.

You can send data anywhere BUT you can only read it from your domain (same
folder or subfolders). If you need to get data from another domain, you have
to use serverside scripting to move the data (including xml). Flash isn't
allowed to read data from other domains.

you could use the crossdomain.xml in your root folder for your domain to load
variables to a different server - or reference crossdomain.xml in your flash
file and position the file anywhere on your server.
