flash and asp loadVariablesNum trouble

[chrisef]

I am building a flash interface which loads in an asp file when various buttons are clicked.

The problem is that the asp always seems to be a step behind the movie. So the user has to double click the buttons to get the variables to load.

The buttons set a variable on the main timeline.


Eg.
on (release){
variable1=1;
}

The 1st the frame of the timeline is on and if else loop:

if (Zone=1){
loadVariablesNum ("getDetail.asp?var=1", 0);
}

else if (Zone=2){
loadVariablesNum ("getDetail.asp?var=2", 0);
}


If anyone has any idea as to why the buttons need double clicking to load data I'd be really gratefule to find out.

Thanks and best regards

if its a 1 frame movie


this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if (Zone=1){
loadVariablesNum ("getDetail.asp?var=1", 0);
}

else if (Zone=2){
loadVariablesNum ("getDetail.asp?var=2", 0);
}
}

if its not then is it an option to load the asp file direct from the button

Another problem is that an if statement uses 2 ' ==' and not only 1.

...
if (Zone==1){...

also to not have to use else ifs you could do

loadVariablesNum ("getDetail.asp?var="+Zone+", 0);
