[Xitami] cgi-bin

[R O]

This is not a Xitami question, this is an HTML/PERL/Flash question.  Wrong 
forum.....But, b/c I am such a nice guy I will answer it.  If this doesn't 
answer it completely for you then at least it will get you on the right path 
and you can figure it out by example.

The following is a clip of code out of a cgi script I wrote.  When called it 
simply prints the following HTML to the browser.  The browser then calls the 
Flash functions and loads the Flash image into a normal HTML page.  Though, 
depending on the browser, you could have errors.  I recall it not always 
working properly because of how the CGI calls the script - something about 
where the cgi starts in relation to how the browser calls the Flash 
functions.  Should get you on the right path though.

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

CGI/HTML stuff

print "<!-- URL's used in the movie-->" ;
print "<!-- text used in the movie-->" ;
print "<OBJECT classid=\"clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000\"" ;
print "

print "WIDTH=100% HEIGHT=100%>" ;

print "</OBJECT>" ;
