REST interface method POST in ActionScript3

I have to make a game for my thesis. I'm coding in ActionScript3. I have to use a service (REST interface). I've already read something about doing a GET.

How to access REST service in Actionscript 3?

Someone wrote that this code could be also use to do a POST, but how would the code change? How to do a POST from ActionScript3? Thank you in advance?

The key is the URLRequest, and the method property. Leveraging from the example you referenced, modify the code to be

var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://localhost:3000/api/user/id");
req.method = "POST"'
loader.load(req);

Basically you configure the URLRequest differently:

var request = new URLRequest("http://localhost:3000/api/user/id");
request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST
loader.load(request);

see http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/net/URLRequest.html#method for more.

You just change the method of the URLRequest object. By default, it uses GET.

var l:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest( URL );
req.method = URLRequestMethod.POST; //this sets it to POST instead of GET
l.load( req );

See URLRequest.method in the LiveDocs
