Hi ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/1105/8ed432c9025fd9ca.gif)

I am busy try to make a pretty complex form in flash. it has many different sections(15 or so). Now i have made the movie and created all the checkboxes needed in the form.

I have given each one an instance name

- e.g. chk\_individualtax1

Made a global variable for each checkbox to get the .selected value

- e.g. \_global.individualtax1 = chk\_individualtax1.selected;

At the end of the movie I have put a trace command to check that the variables are working( because they are on different timeline levels)

- e.g. trace(individualtax1);

Now my problem comes here because now I am trying to send these variables off to the server using the getURL command.

- e.g. getURL(“send.php”, “\_blank”, “POST”);

This works and the email is sent off to me via php. however only the variables on the main timeline are sent??? is there a difference in fetching global variables off different levels of the timeline  
Now should I rather be using the loadVariables command and if so how?

I apologise if i sound confusing. quite new to flash.

I would be very thankfull for any help.  
thanks bo ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/3383/cad202393927512d.gif)
