Hello…I’m having the following problem:

* * *

## files = new Array(); lv = new LoadVars(); lv.onLoad = function() { filelist = this.filelist; files = filelist.split(","); c = files.length-1; for (a=0; a\<c; a++) { trace©; } }; lv.load(“a2.txt”); total = c;

why is ‘total’ not getting the value of ‘c’? It should have the number of the length of the array…

if anybody can help?
