Its ok! i found out what i was doing wrong

i had to write the variable to the screen in the asp file and link the url properly in the flash file.
the asp should read:
<%@ Language = "VBScript" %>
<% testtext="help me"
Response.Write "results="&testtext
%>
and the action script:
loadVariables("http://localhost/test/test.asp", 0);
(and name the dynamic text box in the movie, results)
