LoadVariables and getUrl in a Release Event

[jolo70]

hello.. Im making a small log in movie clip. It checks a script to validate the Username and Password. I use LoadVariables to send the values of the text boxes to the script.

Then i use to getURL to redirect the movie clip to the next page depending of whether the user is valid or not.

My problem comes in the beginning. I have to press the "submit" button twice to get the actionScript to run.

Can anyone help with my dilemma?
Here's the code:

on (press, keyPress &quot;<Enter>&quot {
loadVariablesNum (&quot;flash&quot;, 0, &quot;POST&quot;
if (retVal eq &quot;valid&quot {
getURL (&quot;start&quot;, &quot;_self&quot;, &quot;POST&quot;
}
}

Thanks in advance,
JoLo

Does changing the event to onRelease make a difference?

Changing the event does not make a difference. I've tried onPress and a combination of onRelease w/ onKeypress.

Nothing...

Tried GET instead of POST?
