FLASH: sending Variables w/response + other Newbie stuff

[Tim Kloss]

Hi.


New to this list and doing this sort of thing 

with flash.  So my apoligees if it has been

bought up many a time before or is desperatly obvious.


-  I am trying to send back some variables to a "mailform" CGI script.

This works fine.  However for the user to know that the variables have been

recieved I need a response back to them.  The CGI has a facility for a

"redirect", so I was using this to point the sender to a web page.  I would

like it if the "redirect" URL could be a SWF file which the movie/runtime

could then load instead.  I am using the "load movie" command (w/ send

variables).  I cannot get it to work however.


Also on a PC the runtime ".exe" version of my flash creation is not sending

using the "get URL" command, when the users are connected to the

internet.(the same file works flawlessly on the Mac) -- Is this a bug?


...Also is it possible to just save variables locally on a users disk (and

then reload them later.)


...One last thing: Is there a way of specifiying which text box/button the

tab key jumps the user to when pressed, it seems random, but can't be!


Many thanks in advance for any help..


Regards


Tim K
