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.
