another quick loadVars question -->

[Mac8myPC]

my problem is hopefully a simple one.

Loading vars from a txt file - works
parsing vars into a usable array - works
calling the vars from anywhere in the flash file - does not work

varReceiver = new LoadVars();
varReceiver.load("http://www.somedomain.com/mp3/songs.php");
varReceiver.onLoad = function() {
	songs = this.fileList.split("|");
	titles = this.titleList.split("|");
	artists = this.artistList.split("|");
}

if i trace the vars inside the function, they output the correct values. i.e. trace(songs[0]); ... however if i call it anywhere outside the function it is undefined...

how do i get the values out of the class!?!?

Try this

code:

---

        this._parent.songs = this.fileList.split("|");

	this._parent.titles = this.titleList.split("|");

	this._parent.artists = this.artistList.split("|");

Hope it helps

great idea, but no dice

I think there's something about classes that I'm just not getting. it seems like it should be simple enough. I usually use _root.varName and that works. I also tried _global.varName and it still didn't work!

If your trying to avoid using _root then try

var home:MovieClip = this
varReceiver = new LoadVars();
varReceiver.load("http://www.somedomain.com/mp3/songs.php");
varReceiver.onLoad = function() {
home.songs = this.fileList.split("|");
home.titles = this.titleList.split("|");
home.artists = this.artistList.split("|");
}

trace(home.songs[0]);

If the trace works the variables should be out. Hope that helps!?
