xml variable name

[mmmbob]

Hi,
I'm passing in the name of a variable through xml.And that variable will be used with loadVars to pass stuff to the server. Is there any way in which I can get the name from xml and use that directly? This is what I mean.

xml
<var name=&quot;cat&quot; />
flash
variable = node.attributes.name;

l = new loadVArs();
//how do i get the valueOf varialbe in there.
l.(valueOF(variable)) = &quot;sdfasdf&quot;;
thanks,

for xml you would not use loadvars

look at xml.load and xml.onload

you might want to take a look at this tutorial

i wasn't using loadvars with xml...i need to get some stuff out of xml and hten send it to the server using loadVars.....ie get a form variable name from xml......but that's okay...i figured out that solution anyways...is there any other way to submit data to servers using forms other than using loadvars?

there are older redundant methods (loadvariables, loadvariablesnum) but stick with loadvars and sendandload for sending data out of flash
