hey,

I’ve got a variable in flash ‘$desc’, i have sent the variables from php to flash using:-

myLoadVars.load(“scriptA.php”);

So i should have the variable ‘desc’ available to use in flash.

But how do i use this value?  
how do i get it and append it to another variable?  
all i want to do add this variable to another, why doesnt this work???:-

$path = “[http://www.failsworthschool.co.uk/Failsworth/files/](http://www.failsworthschool.co.uk/Failsworth/files/)”+desc;

im really bamboozled, and i kno itl be a really easy problem, so im sorry for my stupidity!!lol

cheers everyone, ur the best! :krazy:
