why isn't this working.. ahhh..

This is how things are set up in the fla:
Frame 1 has a stop action and i have the checkboxes on the main stage with each having a component name, then i have a button with this actions:
on (release){
formdata= new loadvars( );
formdata.name=name.getvalue( );
formdata.age=age.getvalue( );
formdata.send("1.asp", myVars, "POST"
gotoAndPlay(2);
}

// in the asp i do some computation with the true / false of the checkboxes and a new value of email & name are created.

On frame 2 i have text that says "loading...." and frame 2 has this action:
loadVariablesNum("1.asp", 0);

on frame 3 i have:
if (_root.Counter == 1) {
gotoAndStop(4);
} else {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}

// I have the asp record set incremented by a counter for each returned record

on frame 4 I have on the main stage a movie clip with instance of name and another movie clip with instance of age, each movie clip contain 1 fram of a dynamic text box. Boththe name & age box have a var of 'info'

the actions of frame 4 are as follows:
// depth
depth = -1;
// hide the origional clips
Name._visible = 0;
Age._visible = 0;
// split up the array by looking for the commas
Name_array = output.split(","
Age_array = eoutput.split(","
// get the length of the array
Name_length = Name_array.length;
Age_length = Age_array.length;
// set the start y position (x position depends on where you put it on the screen)
yposition = 38;
// looping everything
for (i=0; i<Name_length; i++) {
// Name
duplicateMovieClip(Name, &quot;Name&quot; add i, depth);
setProperty(&quot;Name&quot; add i, _y, yposition);
Name.Name = Name_array[1];
set(&quot;Name&quot; add i add &quot;.info&quot;, Name_array);
depth--;
// Age
duplicateMovieClip(Age, &quot;Age&quot; add i, depth);
setProperty(&quot;Age&quot; add i, _y, yposition);
Age.Age = Age_array[1];
set(&quot;Age&quot; add i add &quot;.info&quot;, Age_array);
depth--;
// Set the y position plus 30
yposition = yposition+30;

stop();
}

So how i planned this to work was the user selects the checkboxes and presses the send button and the movie goes to frame 2 which checks if the data is present and if so displays it. Any thought on this on why it isn't working? what happening is that when i submit the ceckbox data the &quot;loading....&quot; displays only and the internet connect opens as it searches but it never returns/displays any data.

ok I changed the button action that send the data to the asp page to this:

formdata = new loadvars();
formdata.onLoad = function() { _root.play(); }
dummy = new loadvars();
formdata.name=name.getvalue( );
formdata.age=age.getvalue( );
formdata.sendAndLoad(&quot;1.asp&quot;, dummy, &quot;POST&quot;

I figured out that frame 1 sent the data (actually to a new browser window); So I did some more re-reading and I now use sendandload here even I do not expect data back.

But the movie hange on trying to load the asp info starting on frame two. I can post the fla if some MVP is will ing to help

Well, you need to print the variable to the browser to send them back to Flash.

Response.Write(&quot;var1=&quot; & var1) & &quot;<br>&quot;
Response.Write(&quot;var2=&quot; & var2) & &quot;<br>&quot;
Response.Write(&quot;var3=&quot; & var3) & &quot;<br>&quot;

Not sure if this is the right syntax, but thats the concept on how to get it. There's a good tutorial on

http://www.sephiroth.it

about loadVars and PHP, but it will help you along with figuring out the PHP.

Thanks Flashfreek i got it working but i'm unhappy with how i envisioned the results to be displayed and how they actually are displayed. Thank you very much I really appreciate your help. i need help with, in the swf i'm displaying the request asp results of ranme & phone in two seperate movies, each containing a dynamic text boxe, so for each in the record set the results look like this:
1stTextBox 2ndTextBox
name1 phone1
name2 phone2
name3 phone3
name4 phone4
name5 phone5

I was wondering how i could change things so that the record set displays like so:
name1
phone1

name2
phone2

name3
phone3

name4
phone4

This is the action scripts for the call an display of the original way. Thanks

Action script:

// depth
depth = -1;
// hide the origional clips
rname._visible = 0;
phone._visible = 0;

// split up the array by looking for the commas
rname_array = output.split(&quot;,&quot;
address_array = eoutput.split(&quot;,&quot;

// get the length of the array
rname_length = rname_array.length;
phone_length = phone_array.length;

// set the start y position (x position depends on where you put it on the screen)
yposition = 30;
// looping everything
for (i=0; i<rname_length; i++) {
// Name
duplicateMovieClip(rname, &quot;rname&quot; add i, depth);
setProperty(&quot;rname&quot; add i, _y, yposition);
rname.rname = rname_array[1];
set(&quot;rname&quot; add i add &quot;.info&quot;, rname_array);
depth--;
// Age
duplicateMovieClip(phone, &quot;phone&quot; add i, depth);
setProperty(&quot;phone&quot; add i, _y, yposition);
phone.phone = phone_array[1];
set(&quot;phone&quot; add i add &quot;.info&quot;, phone_array);
depth--;

// Set the y position plus 30
yposition = yposition+30;
}
