Ensure variable from .asp loaded before used by Flash. 1

[mancroft]

Hello again

I am loading variables into Flash from an .asp file using:

loadVariablesNum ("

http://blah.com/layout/info.asp",

0);

One of these variables is called picnumberdefault

I am trying to load the jpg into a clip called the picture by using the following:

_root.thepicture.loadMovie ("

http://blah.com/pics/"

+ picnumberdefault + "pix.jpg"

Unfortunately this gets called BEFORE
loadVariablesNum ("

http://blah.com/layout/info.asp",

0);
has had a chance to load the variable picnumberdefault
so the picture does not get loaded.

Is there any way to ensure that the variable picnumberdefault is loaded from the database BEFORE

_root.thepicture.loadMovie ("

http://blah.com/pics/"

+ picnumberdefault + "pix.jpg"

is called?


PHEW! Thanx.

use loadvars

lv = new LoadVars();
lv.onload = function(){
_root.thepicture.loadMovie ("

http://blah.com/pics/";

+ lv.picnumberdefault + "pix.jpg"
}
lv.load("

http://blah.com/layout/info.asp");

Wish you would learn to post code properly, here on TT!

Maybe you will, after your learn to use punctuation!
