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

[Olga]

There are no errors returned.  There is no _anything_ returned.


If I view the movie on my hd, all the info is pulled into the correct text

fields.


View it online, the movie doesn't appear to even *look* for the CGI.  Sits

there and leaves all the fields blank.
