I am having problems with a variable that I am loading using loadVariablesNum("vars.php", 0, "POST"); to bring in variables from an outside file source. The problem is that when I use an IF statement outside a function the variable(s) are not recognized inside the IF statements, but the variables are rcognized inside functions, for example

Actionscript:

loadVariablesNum("vars.php", 0, "POST");
 
  if(waVar == 1){
   _root.map.state1.gotoAndStop(2);
  }

****The variable waVar is not recognized in the usage above, but is recognized in the function below, both are saved on the same frame's actions.

Actionscript:

_root.map.state1.onRollOver = function(){
  if(waVar == 1){
  this.gotoAndPlay(3);
  this.swapDepths(10);
  }
 }

Any thoughts on how to get the waVar variable recognized in the top usage?

Thanks in advance for any help!
