Hi

I want to access _pArray_ outside the _onData()_-function:  
\*  
imgArray = new pArray();

lv = new LoadVars();  
lv.load(“filearray.php”);

lv.onData = function(text){

```
 pArray = text.split("&");
 _root.textArea1.text = "pArray:"+pArray;

```

}

imgArray = pArray;  
\_root.textArea2.text = “imgArray:”+imgArray;  
\*

I tried to create an imgArray outside and use that one, but it didn’t work. What should I do to be able to access the pArray outside the function? The textareas are just for showing what the arrays contain, wich will be dynamicly loaded images, using a PHP script. I’m trying to create [this gallery function.](http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=57082&highlight=dynamic+image)
