[Xerte] Re-using an icon to loadVars

[Paul Swanson]

Are you using an event to determine when loadVars has completed, um,
loading vars? You would use the id of the page holding the buttons,
right? In that situation I would think the onLoadVars event would think
it was already complete due to the first call. 

Just throwing out wild guesses ...  ;o)
