I don't know why you are architecting this mixing HTML, Flash & Director but
I personally would not do it that way. do the whole thing in Director or at
least Shockwave. if you want to use cute Flash stuff do so, but do all the
keyboard input stuff in Director. forget trying to communicate reliably
between Flash & HTML. once you have the input in the form you built in
Director, this is a piece of cake since the user can just type into fields
on the stage, then collect it all up ans just send it to your CGI script on
your server.
there is an article on DOUG about sending stuff to CGI scripts on the
server. search for CGI.
