This tutorial is REALLY old,the actionscript they give wont work,but they must have updated the support file though because it usesloadVariablesNum("mypage.asp",depth);which is correct.the code they give on the page:Load Variables ("page",depth); is not valid.loadVariablesNum() will work, but ive found that most of the time I have to send more then a couple variables, at which time loadvariablesNum() and the LoadVars equivilents are far slower then the XML class. So I guess it depends on the app.smk
