FLASH: repost: problem retrieving CGI from server/loopy swf loading

[Olga]

Sorry to be a pest, but I posted this Friday afternoon and still haven't

gotten a response...  :(


I have a flash movie that interacts with CGI, sends/recieves variables,

works fine when I preview movie on my desktop.


When I view the movie live from the server, however, none of the CGI

interactions work.  I read somewhere about a problem referencing CGI but I

can't find it in the tech notes and I can't remember what it is.


Anyone have a clue?


also...

I have a nested MC that is created dynamically based on a number returned

from CGI.  (If the # is 7, 7 MCs are created.)

Once created, that MC has certain fields loaded into it from the CGI as

well-- one of the fields is a URL for an external movie.  (Load Movie,

"variableurl.swf", target="sometarget")


Flash doesn't seem to like this sequence of events-- it goes into a loop

where the browser displays:

connecting...

loaded 1K of 70

connecting...

loaded 1k of 70


..and it goes on.


Is there some known issue with loading an swf from an external http://   ...

or with loading swfs in simultaneously...?  There is no loop on my movie

that would cause the Load action itself to loop, so I was wondering if there

are known bugs involving this.


thanks

olga
