Another hidden away feature of Flash MX, this time a method of the LoadVars object. This little method, is the method that the LoadVars object uses internally to decode your name/value pairs into object properties and values...

LoadVars.decode is inherited by all instances of the LoadVars object. The Method accepts one argument, the argument is a string that contains name/value pairs, that you wish to be converted into object properties and associated values. Name/value pairs look like this:
This hidden method, will convert the above name/value pairs into two properties 'myvariable' and 'myothervariable', the values of these properties are the associated values in the name/value pair string, so the value of 'myvariable' in the above string is 'value' and the value of 'myothervariable' in the above string is 'anothervalue'. Heres a little code example to show you what this method does:
The output of the above code is:

This method has not yet been added to the Macromedia Flash MX Actionscript Dictionary Errata.
