i store in the database the frame on which a user ended  
i retrive it from the database and store it in a variable “frame” when a user clicks “start” button  
but when i pass the variable to \_root.gotoAndStop(frame);  
it doesn’t work root doesn’t go to that frame ?

on (press){

\_root.pauseEnterFrame=true;  
var post\_get\_frame:LoadVars = new LoadVars();  
var post\_id:LoadVars = new LoadVars();  
post\_id.ID = id;  
post\_id.sendAndLoad(“[http://e-jobs.pl/e-deutsch/getStartFrame.php",post\_get\_frame,"POST](http://e-jobs.pl/e-deutsch/getStartFrame.php%22,post_get_frame,%22POST)”);  
post\_get\_frame.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {  
if (success) {

```
    frame = post_get_frame.start_frame;

```

trace(frame);  
}  
else {  
frame = 2;  
}  
};  
\_root.gotoAndStop(frame);  
}
