Popup Windows and the POST method

I am trying to launch a browser popup window through Flash, however I need to
send variables to my PHP script so I am trying to use the POST method. It
seems that when calling the javascript function, the variables are not get
passed. Am I doing something wrong?

Here is my code behind the flash button:
var t_var=1;

getURL("javascript:openNewWindow('variables.php','thewin','height=400,width=400,
toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes')", "", "POST");

My PHP scrip is simple for testing purposes:
<php

//pull variables from Flash movie
$t_var=$_POST['t_var'};

print $t_var; <-- variable is empty, why?????

?>

Thanks for any help.
