Re: FLASH: sending/receiving variables

[Fernando]

I've just solved a similar problem today.


You have to keep checking the contents of a returned server variable, jumping from one frame to another.


BUT flash only checks variables dont initialized with some_var="".


So, the trick is not to mention the check_variable, until you have called Load Variables.


Any dude, jus emailme.
