Hi i'm trying to instantiate a cgi script on a local server, this is what i have, can someone please give give me a suggestion as why i cannot? thanks

loadVariables(" "", "POST");
 
I take it by no responses that what i have is too trivial...

this is the code i'm using:
Code:
on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
	if (Number(length(name))<1) {
		nameselection = "Please enter a name first";
	} else {
		todo = "namesearch";
		loadVariables("[URL unfurl="true"]http://192.168.1.205/cgi-bin/chatscript.pl",[/URL] "", "POST");
		gotoAndPlay("check name");
	}
}
and this is the output error:
waiting for the player to connect

any suggestions?
 
because i am trying this from localhost to 192.168.1.205 i have adjusted the flash player security to allow connections from this ip, i have added from the base ip, and the baseIP plus up to the folder path.

the cgi-bin is set up correctly cause the proveral "hello world" succeeded.

I am trying to get this going, has any one had any luck with it, or can someone try to get it going as well, much appreciated, Thanks:
 
Also is there a way to test the loadvars functio with falsh cs3 ?

thanks again.
