Re: FLASH: sending/receiving variables

[T.R. Henigson]

I understand the need to loop until a variable is loaded, but does this mean

that I have to first initialize the variable before I can test whether or

not

it's been loaded?


	1: variable=""

	2: load variables

	3: if variable ne "" goto 5

	4: goto 3

	5: ...


Or can I just exclude the initialization in the first frame and start

with loading the variables in the second frame and then checking...
