Is the loadVariables action on the main timeline, in the _root, to begin with?

Flash needs time to process the LoadVariables as well as the server needs to translate the page request. Try placing your LoadMovie action 10 frames out from this LoadVariables. Another thing to...

Just a thought here, does your cgi-bin directory have "write" permissions? If not then no message would be sent back to Flash and a loop would follow. As far as why the page did not send the email...

No way for Flash to read into Excel directly. Is this a local problem or will the excel spreadsheets be on the Internet?

Question:
What is going to be the more effiecient method for pulling in dynamic variables into Flash?

You could create something that will dynamically count the commas and...
