Variables, half of them work :/

[Ludatha]

Ok, I have a movie clip with these actions applied to it:

onClipEvent (load) {
GID = "frontpage.php?id=01";
url = "frontpage.php?url=01";
}

Inside that is some text inside a movie clip and a button, the text has these actions applied to it:

onClipEvent (load) {
loadVariables(GID, this, "GET");
}

The Button has these actions applied to it:

on (release) {
getURL(url);
}


When I run it, I get no errors, but if I click the button, it will go to the url set in the variable, but the text doesnt show anything, if I change the text to:

onClipEvent (load) {
loadVariables("frontpage.php?id=01", this, "GET");
}

It works fine.. what am I doing wrong? (Im very new to actionscript xD)

If you need any more info or I havnt explained it very well please ask :)

onClipEvent handlers don't work for text boxes. Do you have the text box in another movieClip?

Try reading this to make sure you are approaching this correctly.

Yeah I am doing it all right, I am just trying to make it easier because I need to do it about 250 times so I wanted to use variables so i dont have to go an edit the movieclip every time.

put your AS in your timeline. That's the easiest way to manage your code, so that way you don't have to dig for it.
