FLASH: Macs WON'T send variables!

[Mike Yrabedra]

First of all let me say Macromedia needs some serious help with their 

"so-called" support program. Ridiculous! Can anyone say BIG long distance

bill?


For the past week I have been trying to get answers concerning the Mac

inability to "send" variables. I can load variables from Tango, but the

arguments need to be hard coded into the URL. Entering values into the

fields does nothing.


Flash 4 *does not* act like a normal html form.


I created a simple test with Tango(Mac server version of a cgi) that would

send back variable values to my browser, that works. No problems loading

variables, just sending them. Can't do searches if it won't send the

parameters.

Therefore, I know my server is set-up correctly (MIME) otherwise the

variable values would not have loaded, right?


I have been testing this whole time on a Mac, with the server being a Mac

also. Maybe a PC will send variables fine, but since over 90% of my traffic

is Mac folk, Flash 4 needs to work on the Mac.


I've been told there a lot of Mac developers on this list, if so please

prove me wrong on this.





Have a Great Day!  ;-)
