question about loadvars.sendandload

[iostream71]

previously i was using loadVariables along with the onClipEvent(data) to handle my waiting for data to return

i want to use the new loadvars, but need to know if when you use sendandload, do you have to use an "onload" to wait for the data to return, or does it handle this automatically?

mydata = new loadvars();
mydata.onload = function (){
//whatever you need here. this is ONLY triggered when the data is loaded
}
mydata.load("whatever.txt/php/asp"

sendandload is used when you want a 2 way dialog with a server side script.

i got it to work with sendandload. i needed to send a query to the database and return values back
