LoadVars works locally, but not live?????

[hifu]

First, sorry for the repost, but...

Can anyone tell me why this works from my machine, but not when I post it? I'm trying to pull in random quotes from a database and populate dynamic text field on stage (named "barf" in this case). I've tried it with the _root.loadVariables() too, but I get the same result. I know the php call is working since it pulls in fine on my local machine when viewing in flash player (and putting in url field of browser)


//frame 1
quoteVariable= new LoadVars();
quoteVariable.load("http://ipa.premierelink.com/daystests/newton/GetRandomQuote.php?program=18");


//frame5
//dynamic text box named "barf" placed on stage
barf=quoteVariable.quote;
trace(quote);

stop();
---------------------
Also, if you can help me with a side-problem–both of these end up tracing when placed right after the "quoteVariable.load..." in frame 1.

quoteVariable.onLoad = function(success){
trace("success");
};

quoteVariable.onLoad = function(fail){
trace("fail");
};

Possible reasons you have no answer
1) You did not explain your problem well enough.
2) You have not supplied anything but bits of actionscript, and it may not be enough to figure out whats wrong
3) Try posting an fla and php script.

Alright, my bad. Sorry I posted in general MX instead of scripting and backend that's why I thought nobody was answering. Won't happen again.

here's a description of the test file:
It has two keyframes, one on frame 1 and one on frame 7. On frame 7 there's a dynamic text box set to display html, have a border and be selectable and is named "barf". The php call returns this:

works locally, but not live. Can you help a poor repentant re-poster?

Chances are in the remote version you are not giving flash enough time to return the result before you are trying to use it. Thats what the onLoad handler is for. Try taking out all the extra frames put the LoadVars and the barf text box on the first frame.


quoteVariable= new LoadVars();
quoteVariable.load("http://ipa.premierelink.com/daystests/newton/GetRandomQuote.php?program=18");
trace(quoteVariable.quote);
quoteVariable.onLoad = function(success){
if(success) {
trace(this.quote);
barf.htmlText=this.quote;
}
};
stop();

That's what I thought too, which is why I put the frames between the call and the display. You solution works exactly like mine–works locally, not posted.

Any other ideas?

A 10 network is a local network, I cannot access it over the web. Also keep in mind that you cannot access remote php scripts when viewing over the web. So you need to reference the php script that is on the same server that the movie is playing from.
