One of the guys at [AS.org](http://AS.org) helped me out with this one.

```auto
[color=black]myLV = new LoadVars(); 
myLV.onLoad = function(success) 
{ 
if (success) 
{ 
trace(unescape(this)); 
_level0.num_txt.text = this.numberOfFiles; 
for (i = 1 ; i <= parseInt(this.numberOfFiles) ; i++) 
{ 
_level0.box.duplicateMovieClip("box" + i, i + 1000); 
_level0["box" + i]._x = _level0.box._x + _level0.box._width * i * 2; 
} 
} 
} 
myLV.load("thumbcounter.php"); 

```

[color=black]It works fine now. Just have to do some reading up on why it wasn’t working in the first place. Thanks for your help guys. I appreciate it.[/color]
