I’m working with login.fla in samples of Flash ( c:/Program Files/Macromedia/Flash 8/Samples and Tutorials/Samples/ActionScript/Login ).  
I declared variable aa :  
var aa = 0;

At function checkForm at “result\_lv.onLoad = …” I added:  
"aa=“isValidLogin = " + result\_lv.isValidLogin;”

At the stage I added a textbox name aa\_txt .

At submit\_btn.clickHandler I added : “aa\_txt.text = aa;” (after checkForm).

I login (username: Herbert password: glasses ) press button but isValidLogin does not appear at aa\_txt textbox.  
If I press the button for a second time, the isValidLogin APPEARS!!! at the textbox.  
How can I make it appear with the first button press?  
Why is this happening?

I have attached the modified login.fla (zipped).
