Hi

Using a modified version of:

```auto
loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("kirupa.txt");
//creating the loadVarsText function
loadText.onLoad = function() {
  scroller.text = this.kirupatext;
};

```

I can get text from a php page into a text box.

However I’m passing a querystring in and while I can send them anywhere to a text box using \_root.textbox1.text = this.var1 etc what I really want to do is make that variable available to the rest of the script, but it just won’t do it, say if I put \_root.var1 = this.var1 or \_global.var1 = this.var1 they remain blank?

Cheers
