FLASH: Load Variables problem

[Sage Hobbs]

    I'm attempting to use Load Variables to load a count variable for a

while loop.  I've got a text field with the same name as my count variable

to verify that the variable was read from the file.  When the Load Variables

is called, the text field changes, but when the count variable is evaluated

in the loop (or assigned to another text field) it is empty.  Here's a

simplification of what I'm trying to do:


(getcount.txt contains "rcount=5")


Set Variable: "rindex"=1

Load Variables("getcount.txt", "0")

Trace("rcount=" & rcount)     <---- rcount is empty??

Loop While(rindex < rcount)   <---- loop never executes

    Set Variable: "rindex" = rindex+1

End Loop



    Am I missing something here?  The Load Variables is successfully reading

in the file since a text field named "rcount" will display the correct

value.  Any help would be much appreciated
