I do it like this: (Thanks to Willem!)
/*
//usage
var myPHP_Loader = new PHP_Loader("myPhpFile.php", ["val1", "Value 1"],
["val2", "Value 2"]);
myPHP_Loader.addEventListener("loaded", myPHP_LoaderLoadedHandler);
function myPHP_LoaderLoadedHandler(e:Event):void {
trace(e.target.loader.data["a"]);
}
//myPhpFile.php
<?php
$val1= $_POST['val1'];
$val2= $_POST['val2'];
//... do something with these values.
echo 'a=';
echo $val1+$val2;
?>
*/
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.net.*;
import flash.events.*;
public class PHP_Loader extends Loader {
public var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
public function PHP_Loader(url:String, ...args){
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
loaderCompleteHandler);
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
if(args.length>0){
var variables:URLVariables = new
URLVariables();
for (var i:int = 0; i < args.length; i++) {
variables[args[i][0]] = args[i][1];
}
request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
request.data = variables;
loader.dataFormat =
URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
}
try{
loader.load(request);
}
catch (error:Error) {
trace("Unable to load URL");
dispatchEvent(new Event("error", true));
}
}//end CONSTRUCTOR
private function loaderCompleteHandler (e:Event):void {
trace( loader.data );
dispatchEvent(new Event("loaded", true));

I'm also not to entirely sure you should use
