php var in dynamic text

[streetedge]

I have a php file ($test="this is a test")

and a swf movie with a dynamic field test.

the swf file has the action:
LoadVariablesNum (test.php, 0);

Why isn't this working????

you need speech marks mate:
loadVariablesNum("test.php", 0);

[catbert303]

loadVariablesNum("test.php", 0);

also make sure you don't try to display the variable before it has had time to load, the simpleset way (probably) to do this is to create a movie clip and in this clip put a stop(); action on frame 1, then your dynamic textfields on frame 2. Finally attach the script as a clip event

onClipEvent(load) {
this.loadVariables("text.php");
}
onClipEvent(data) {
this.gotoAndStop(2);
}
