Hello there, got a big targeting problem.

I am loading a movieClip into a container.  
This movieclip loads variables from a PHP file. It loads up the PHP

```auto
// Loads the Variables
loadVariablesNum ("Load.php?Name=admin", 0);

```

but fails to position the Objects:

```auto
//Sets the x and y position of Each Movie Clip name Object1, Object2 etc.
setProperty ("Object1", _x, xO1);
setProperty ("Object1", _y, yO1);

setProperty ("Object2", _x, xO2);
setProperty ("Object2", _y, yO2);

setProperty ("Object3", _x, xO3);
setProperty ("Object3", _y, yO3);

gotoAndPlay (23);

```

and then:

```auto
O1x = math.floor(getProperty(_root.contentHolder.Object1, _x));
O1y = math.floor(getProperty(_root.contentHolder.Object1, _y));
O2x = math.floor(getProperty(_root.contentHolder.Object2, _x));
O2y = math.floor(getProperty(_root.contentHolder.Object2, _y));
O3x = math.floor(getProperty(_root.contentHolder.Object3, _x));
O3y = math.floor(getProperty(_root.contentHolder.Object3, _y));

```

can anyone seee what I’m doing wrong,  
thanks!
