\_root.gotoAndStop(“output”);  
} else {  
\_root.gotoAndStop(“error”);  
}  
};  
function sendComments() {  
var obj = userComments;  
obj.from = fromEmail.text;  
obj.name = fromName.text;  
obj.to = "my@email.com";  
obj.subject = “comments”;

don’t know about cgi forms, I use php for them.

but I guess you must specify the level on wich the movie is located to load the vars.

something like this…

userComments.sendAndLoad(“[http://www.mypage/cgi-bin/sendmail.cgi](http://www.mypage/cgi-bin/sendmail.cgi)”, userComments, [COLOR=red]5[/COLOR] , “POST”);

I used 5 in the example but that’s the place where to put the number of the level on wich the movie is loaded.
