i am trying to get values from an html page by using a javascript function!  
i have made a butoon with the code :  
on (release) {  
getURL(“javascript:changeText()”);  
myTxt.text=gUserID;  
}

and in the html page i made a java script function :

\<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=“JavaScript”\>  
function changeText() {  
window.document.js.SetVariable(“gUserID”, “111”);

}

but what happens is that i get the value “111” only after i press the button twice!!! and not once!  
why is that?  
what can i do to make it work?  
Thanks in advace
