Preventing PHP script from loading the actual page

Question

In my ActionScript 2 code it send the data to a php script but then loads the actual script into the browser which just shows a blank page. I don't want to load the processing script into the browser at all. How do I prevent this?
Here's my actionscript:
var submitListener:Object = new Object();
submitListener.click = function(evt:Object) {
fname2 = fname.text;
lname2 = lname.text;
var send_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
send_lv.fname = fname.text;
send_lv.lname = lname.text;
send_lv.email = email.text;
send_lv.dept = dept.text;
send_lv.campus = campus.text;
send_lv.uaid = uaid.text;
send_lv.phone = phone.text;
send_lv.send("http://distance.uaf.edu/ferpa/process.php", "POST");
gotoAndStop("certificate");
submit_button.addEventListener("click", submitListener);

Answer 1

create a 2nd lv instance, use the sendAndLoad() method applied to send_lv and use your 2nd lv instance as the sendAndLoad() 2nd parameter:
var receiveLV:LoadVars=new LoadVars()
send_lv.sendAndLoad("xxxx.php",receiveLV,"POST");
p.s.  if you want to parse the return from your php script, use the onLoad() or onData() methods applied to receiveLV.
