Help with Syntax

Hello,

This should be easy but
I'm missing something! I have this line of code:

mySound.loadSound("http://www.mydomain.com/audio/artist/songfile.mp3", true);

where "artist" and "songfile" in the address above are variables. I am having
trouble getting the syntax right to make it work, though. I tried this:

mySound.loadSound("http://www.mydomain.com/audio/"+artistname+"/"+songfile+".mp3
", true);

But I get this error: Error opening URL "http://www.mydomain.com/audio//.mp3"

What am I missing? Thanks!!!

Rob

this code:

mySound.loadSound("http://www.mydomain.com/audio/"+artistname+"/"+songfile+".mp3
", true);

is correct. artistname and songfile are undefined, however. recheck that
they are defined (on the timeline that contains your loadSound() statement).

They are defined. I am drawing the variables from an .asp file using this code:

loadVariablesNum("recordsong2test.asp", 0);

But I just added a frame in between the lines of code and now it's working!
It's almost like they were going by too fast and Flash wasn't catching them
properly.

if those variables are defined in an asp file, you should use a data handler to
ensure the data are returned before you try and use them. adding a frame is
not a good way to ensure the data are ready when called.
