hey hey, so here’s the plot:

I’m attaching an MC to the timeline and within that attached MC is a LoadVars.sendAndLoad command.

This works flawlessly when I have a few variables but becomes horribly bogged down when I have to send (and receive) lots of data.

It actually freezes my swf until all the data is loaded, then switches windows \<minimizes itself in Win XP\> after it’s all done loading.

So I figure I need a way for the original attach movie to finish loading, before I send the PHP commands… any ideas, threads, tutorials on the best way to structure this?

cheers

anyone? how do I stop a sendAndLoad from executing until everything else is loaded? \<via the attachMovie command\>
