on (release) {  
\_root.mybutton.onRelease = function() {  
var c = new LoadVars();  
c.datenstring = “test”;  
c.send(“writer.php”);  
stop();  
};  
}

Start by changing your script to

```auto
on (release) {
	var c = new LoadVars();
	c.datenstring = "test";
	c.send("writer.php");
	stop();
}

```

Because you were assigning a onPress event to the button when you pressed it…  
Did you try to simply echo the variable on the PHP side?

oh yes, of course!!! i that way it’s working on the 2nd mouse click.

well i’ve edited it. thanks for your answer.

but it doesnt work well. nothing happens with:  
c.send(“writer.php”);

but writer.php writes the file with:  
c.send(“writer.php”, this);

but i dont want to open a new window, and thats what happens with that ‘this’.

thx 4 your honesty 😉

well, i’ve found an alternative with loadVariables.

writing works fine, but not reading… thats strange. could you have a look?
