Loading external SWF sending vars Problem!

1

Hi,

I’m trying to load an external SWF to my movie and send
some variables to it. Here’s my code:



    var externalLoader:Loader = new Loader();
    var variable:URLVariables = new URLVariables();

    var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("external.swf");

    variable.test = "10";
    request.data = variable;
    
    externalLoader.load(request);
    externalLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, preloaderFunction);
    externalLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeFunction);

    target_mc.addChild(externalLoader);

when I add the test variable to the URLVariables it returns the following error:

Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.

If I comment the line [variable.test = “10”;], it loads fine but without sending the test variable.

Note: The external.swf is an AS2 file but I think this isn’t a problem.

Does anybody can help me?
Thanks
