im going crazy..please help (variables onload)

[gwu]

I have this in a button code but the trace says "undefined" when i click the button however when i debug..."global.attempt1" has the correct variable in it. If i click the button a second time.. the trace comes up correctly.
******************
on (release) {
_root.emailVar = _root.emailBox.text;
_root.passwordVar = _root.passwordBox.text;
myLoadVars = new LoadVars();
myLoadVars.onLoad = function() {
_global.attempt1 = myLoadVars.attempt;
};
myLoadVars.load("

https://www.dullesmicro.com/cell/ss...ar+"&password="+_root.passwordVar);

trace(attempt1);
}

it looks like on the first click there is nothing to return hence undefined.

one of 2 things i suspect

1. loadvars is not being employed properly...hard to tell from this snippet

2. before looking into that replace myloadvars.load with
myloadvars.sendandload..that may all thats wrong
