Loadvariables working for input boxes but not for static variables

1

ok so ive been successful posting variables to a php file from input boxes but for some reason i cant send static variables to php or im doing it wrong.

basically what i want to do is say

on(release){
var = “something”;
loadVariables(“test.php”, “POST”);
}

so the variable thats sent is “something”.

heres what i have

actionscript on my button:

ActionScript Code:
[LEFT][COLOR=#993300]on[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR]Press[COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]     compare = [COLOR=#0000FF]"testing"[/COLOR];       [COLOR=#993300]loadVariables[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#0000FF]"test.php"[/COLOR], [COLOR=#0000FF]"POST"[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR]; [COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR]
