Are you looking to interact with an HTML form or do you want the form in

Flash?  To me it sounds like you want the form in Flash.  If that is so,

then you do not need any cgi to do what you want to do.  Just set up

catching a value for variable as Nigel (I think) had shown earlier.  Then

use that value/variable to set the value of the text field in the form you

create in flash.  Then use the flash form just like any other html form.
