dynamic text won't show/load

I've been using my stock code for loading variables but it won't work here. Any thoughts.

Frame "start"
gProject = new LoadVars();

gProject.sendAndLoad("getProject.php?id=12", gProject, "GET");

gProject.onLoad = function (success){
if (success){
trace ("done loading");
gotoAndPlay("show");

}else{
trace ("not loaded");
}
}

Frame "show"
item = gProject.proName;
ID = gProject.proId;
proid = gProject.proProject;
description = gProject.proDescription;


stop();


The text is not showing. I've checked the PHP and it works fine. I'm stumped. Is there a code error?

Thanks
