    Ok I am getting farther along here.

    I have an HTML product page that uses a cgi form post to send variables like
    ${PRICE}, ${Quantity}, etc.
    to another CGI script which handles the checkout and shopcart.

    I want to convert the product page to flash (5) and pass the variables to the cgi for checkout.

    Is this as simple as assigning each value a variable and using a post to send the data to the specified CGI? IT seems too simple and i can't get it to work. Also I pass the data to a cookie to track the contents of the users shopcart when thet are on the site. I have seen posts for cookies, but will it be possible to keep the cookie updated each time variables are passed?

    Any help would be appreciated. IF I can pull this off I will have a web based e-commerce solution that is 100% flash compatible. see http://www.storesontheweb.com

    I would be willing to trade someone a free online store for some period of time if they could help me make this work.

    you can use geturl("blah.cgi?price=xx&quantity=xx");
    to send the data to cgi. =)
