</div>

in frame 1 I’ve a dynamictextfield named “example”.

Also in frame 1 there’s this actionscript:  
loadVariables (“myPHP.php”, this, “POST”);  
stop();

There are no more frames in this .fla.

In myPHP.php there’s the following script:

\<?  
$example = ‘12’;

print “&result=Okay&example=$example&”;

?\>

When I publish this the dynamictextfield doesnt  
say 12. What am I doing wrong?

Thanx in advanced.

the variable of the textfield needs to be example, not it’s name.  
as you’re using the result var to check it’s ok, change the order of the echo to  
print “&example=$example&result=Okay”;  
and in flash, use an empty controler clip with an attached onEnterFrame to check if(result==“Okay”){ textfield.text=example;}  
Better to use LoadVars, coz you get the “onLoad” for free 😉
