Netscape 4.04 Win 95 works for me, it asked me to complete order, I

added a quanity 1 to first item, it then asked for credit card which I

entered and then I got Thank you and a conformation.

Why you are having problems is not known but it is not likely a

fundimental problem with Flash 4. Both Post and GET have been well

tested and with both working.


I will have test files available for testing round trip access on a NT

server with ASP probably tested and ready tommorrow with other languages

ready next week.


It is possible that there is something wrong with your browser, the

construction of your Flash file or your server side scripting. This

error may be affecting some Netscape browsers and posssibly some IE ones

too. We have many cases of problems attributed to one or the other

browser and the problem actually was affecting both browsers biut after

the initial screening almost all testing was done on the one browser

because it was assumed to be the problem.


A Go To to a frame not loaded gives such results and often may seem to

affect one browser more than the other (but in reality it has nothing to

do with browsers).
