Variable Problem (what's new)

[Astor]

Hello all,

I have a little problem that is driving me nuts.

I set up a variable in php (print "t1=x&t2=y"
I've also tried it loading the variables through a txt file (t1=x&t2=y)

I load the variables in Flash:
loadVariablesNum("test.php", 0);

Funny enough, if I use a dynamic text field and use t1 or t2 as a varible it displays the value, which is ok.

The problem is that if I trace the variable or want to use that variable in an if statement it returns "undefined"
trace(t1);
or
if (t1 == x) {do something}

It's almost like I can only load variables to use in dynamic text fields and nothing else!!

I figure this is something really stupid that I'm missing, but I'm at the edge of insanity. Anyone knows what am I doing wrong?

Thanks a lot!

common problem

you are trying to get at the variable before it has loaded hence 'undefined'

if you have mx or higher then use loadvars

mydata = new LoadVars();
mydata.onLoad = function(){
trace(mydata.t1);
}
mydata.load("test.php");

will work but id recommend using sendandload

if its older version of flash then loop over frames

frame 1

loadVariablesNum("test.php", 0);
if(t1==undefined){
gotoAndPlay(2);
}else{
trace(t1)
stop();
}

frame 2

gotoAndPlay(1)
