Re: FLASH: inconsistency in loading variables

[Cheri Harder]

Hi Anders.


I didn't see in your explanation a loop that checks to be sure the variables

have been loaded, so maybe that's the problem.  At the this part:

Put a label on the frame after your load movie, like "loading"

On the next frame after that labelled one, put "if default = "" go to

loading"


That is, it will loop there until the action to load the variables has

succeeded.


The problem that I have with offering this solution is that you have tried

loading the variable with the movie name, and I would have thought that

would have happened immediately...so really not sure this is the answer.

But it is something to try!
