make sure v exists and is a number (data from text files come in as strings)

</div>

it is a number its from a database…

the php file gives out

&count=3

and in flash

loadVariables(“page.php?”+random(999),this);

and then

```auto

this.onEnterFrame = function(success) {
v = this.count;
	};

```
