Chad,
That's the whole point/beauty of this. You can go without the
browser if you'd like.
1) You have to use the 'variables into location' and the location is
the script/app/CGI
2) Pick a level or target where you want the variable to go when it
comes back. I typically just use 0 cuz I haven't done much loading of
movies into various levels. Did it with a target once I believe. It's
all personal preference
3) Make sure the data comes back from the CGI (or whatever) in url
form-encoded format. (var1=value1&var2=value2)
You can have Flash sit in a while loop, or wait for user input and
store the variable(s) in the background whatever. I once set it to do
a while until the variable came back. Once the variable came back, it
would run through and if structure and fork accordingly.

Is it possible to run the .swf, have it pass variable out, have CGI
or
whatever process the data, then have the data sent back to the same
.swf
without it stopping?

Sal,
That's what you want to use then...If you use getURL or whatver it
is, it will take you to a new page (HTML)...Submitting using 'load
variables into location' will submit to your script/application.
I'm
not a CF user, but I know some folks who have done it. Mine has all
been done with Perl/CGI scripts. Just make sure that your CF app
sends back url-formencoded data (var=value&var2=value2 etc.) to
Flash
so Flash can load variables and do something with it.
