[FMX2004] - variables work on test, not in html

1

I’ve got a main movie (main) loading another movie (forms) that includes a listbox (listBox) inside a empty movieclip (comboloader)… When I test this out using a getURL?variable="+ _root.variable it works fine in the flash test but when I run it from the site the variable is “undefined”

Here’s my code for the button which makes all this happen.

(all variables are set to global)

on(release){

formData = new LoadVars();

formData.jobtitle = “”;

formData.id = “”;

formData.jobtitle = _root.comboloader.listBox.getSelectedItem().label;
formData.id = _root.id;

jobtitle = formData.jobtitle;
id = formData.id;

getURL(“begin_demo.asp?jobtitle=”, “_blank”);
getURL(“process_jobtitle.asp?1=” + _root.jobtitle +"&2=" + _root.id, “_blank”)
}

am I missing a _parent somewhere? Is there any reason this thing would work standalone (in flash) and not in the final file (when its loaded into another clip)

Thanks!
