frame 1:

  Load Variables("externalapp",0)

  goto loading


frame 2 (label=loading):

  if name-of-last-var-in-return-string ne ""

    goto continue


frame 3:

  goto loading


frame 4 (label=continue):

  do whatever depends on those variables...


The only other note I'd add is that I've found that sometimes the

loading loop (frames 2 and 3) only works if a textfield (with invisible

border and background-colored text if you don't want it to be seen) with

the variable name you're checking for exists in those frames, in

addition to the ones afterwards where you might be displaying it.
