Sometimes my loadVariablesNum code doesn’t seem to work. Usually it works on high-speed and usually it doesn’t work on dial-up.

Why? What can I do to make it always work?

Here’s the code:

On successive frames in the first loop that loops quite a few times are:

loadVariablesNum(\_root.text\_file, 1);  
\_level1.pass\_dynamic\_text = \_level1.dynamic\_text;  
\_root.save\_dynamic\_text = \_level1.pass\_dynamic\_text;  
\_level0.displaytext = \_root.save\_dynamic\_text;

On successive frames in the final loop that loops forever are:

\_level1.pass\_dynamic\_text = \_level1.dynamic\_text;  
\_root.save\_dynamic\_text = \_level1.pass\_dynamic\_text;  
\_level0.displaytext = \_root.save\_dynamic\_text;

So what could cause the text to not make it to the screen sometimes?
