FLASH: guestbook in an standalone flash .exe?

[Andries van der Leij]

Hello all, 


I'm building a Christmas greeting projector for a company in the

Netherlands. I've been experimenting with standalone flash projectors for

some time now and I think that they are really great. I use Flashjester

Jugglor to get rid of the menu's and borders and create small presentations

and brochures. 


This time It will be a "christmascard": a greeting from the staff to their

employees and maybe a small game or an animation. The employees receive the

..exe in their mailbox and can open it whenever they want. I also want to

give the employees the oppertunity to give everyone their own christmas

greeting from within their card.


I downloaded the guestbook from Matthias Kannengiesser on the Flashkit site

and this is perfect for what I have in mind. I

uploaded the cgi script and the txt file to my server and it all works

perfect....in a browser. When I trie it using the standalone flash player or

an .exe I get an "error opening..." alert.


I've worked with the load variables from an .exe before (with plain txt

files and asp) but I can't get it to work with this .cgi script. I don't

know anything about cgi/perl and I simply don't know where to start. Do you

know what might be the problem?


The movie from flashkit is here:

I would be very glad if someone could help me out.


Thank you very much in advance,


Andries van der Leij
