myVars.sendAndLoad issues

[frozenpeas]

Hi,

I have created a survey in Flash MX 2004 (Win2k Pro) and am having problems communicating with the CGI script.

The script is outputting, for example:

&errMsg=Please fill in all fields;

qCount = 14; //number of survey questions
survey_name = "yac_survey_conf1"; //unique survey name
myVars = new LoadVars();
myVarsResponse = new LoadVars();
myVarsResponse.onLoad = handleData;
btnSubmit.onRelease = function(){
	btnSubmit.enabled = 0;
	_global.statusMsg = "Sending...";
	//store all answers in the myVars object
	for(i=1;i<=qCount;i++){
		myVars["q"+i] = eval("q"+i).selectedData;
		if(eval("q"+i+"comments").text != ""){
			myVars["q"+i] += ":"+eval("q"+i+"comments").text;
		}
		trace(i+".) "+myVars["q"+i]);
		//set message if field was left empty
		if(myVars["q"+i]==null){
			_global.statusMsg = "Please fill in all fields.";
		}
	}
	//retrieve entered userid/password
	myVars.userid = userid.text;
	myVars.passwd = passwd.text;
	//check if userid and password were entered
	if(userid.text==null||passwd.text==null){
		_global.statusMsg = "Please enter your userID and password.";
	}
	checkAnswers();
}
function checkAnswers(){
	if(_global.statusMsg==null){
		//form appears to be filled properly
		_global.statusMsg = "Submitting data...";
		myVars.sendAndLoad("[URL unfurl="true"]http://localhost/cgi-bin/survey.cgi",myVarsResponse,"GET");[/URL]
	}else{
		handleData();
	}
}
function handleData(){
	//go to status screen
	_global.statusMsg = myVarsResponse.errMsg;
	_parent._parent._parent.statusWindow.play();
	trace(_global.statusMsg);
}

The statusWindow ActionScript is (this frame is called after the variables have been set):

stop();
msg = _global.statusMsg;
btnClose.onRelease = function(){
	_parent.surveyMain.myTarget.myContent.btnSubmit.enabled = 1;
	play();
}

The issues I am aware of at this point:

1. _global.statusMsg is tracing back as undefined, in any circumstance.
2. statusWindow displays but shows no dynamic text.

Any help is appreciated. Deadline looming.

Thanks.
