Got a problem sending mail in Flash MX - got all of the input text fields setup ok to pass values over to a mailsend script.

On the form send button:

<font color="navy">on (press){
loadVariables("sendMail.asp",_root,"POST");
gotoAndPlay(210);
}</font id="navy">

This will supposedly pass the variables over to the script.. and then play the confirmation sent frame unfortunately it doesn't pass the vars. I've tried moving the loadVariables code to the timeline frame instead of the button, that doesn't work either! Also tried switching in loadVariablesNum instead.

Email is being sent but with blank variables so they're definitely being lost somewhere down the line. There's clearly something simple that I'm missing here.. any ideas?
