Hi, just a quick question, I know how to load a variable from PHP to a textbox, but I can’t seem to be able to just trace it.

Movie clip with dynamic textbox in it with “name0” as variable.

```auto

onClipEvent (load) {
  loadVariables("getdata.php", this, "GET");
}

```

and ofcourse getdata.php has “&name0=john” and “john” pops up in the textbox.

But

```auto
trace (name0); 

```

gives me “undefined” in the output-window?

What am I missing?
