hey, im back with another as3 question 🙂

i’ve been setting up a high score table in my game, and everything is working, but i cant work out how to get variables from the URLLoader.data that im retrieving

if i trace loadedScores.data, i get this  
&name1=matt&score1=323250&name2=1234567890123456… and so on

i’ve tried passing it to a URLVariables constructor, but it says the string doesnt contain the correct name/variable pairs or something, and loadedScores.data.name1 doesnt work…

thanks for your help, cant work this one out for the life of me  
cheers
