loadVariables timing issue

Can I use the results of loading a variables file using loadVariables on the very next frame? Or do I need to build in a set number of frames delay before trying to use the variables being populated by the load statement?

Right now I am only giving one frame spacing from execution of the loadVariables and I try to use the variables on the next frame with sporadic results. Is next frame use overly optimistic? What is a good coding practice if there is a timing issue with using the results of loadVariables?

Here is script I am using...

---

loadVariables("MyVars.txt", _root);

Thanks!
