So I've posted this in a couple of other places with no luck

So my sendAndLoad won't work in FireFox(Win) or Safari. From what I have read, "there's a problem with the Flash 8 plugin for Firefox." This would explain why when in Firefox(Win) my swf won't return data from the server. I specity (Win) becuase if works fine on a Firefox(Mac).

The idea behind my project is that it's supposed to collect data through a form in the swf, send it to an external validator which returns either an errors array or the ok to go to the next frame, a thank you. I've tested it in a number of browsers and so far the only two it won't work in are Firefox(Win) and Safari. How can I adapt my code so that it works? I'm pretty sure my boss is about to fire me cause I can't get this project done. Thanks for any and all help in advance!

Actionscript:

submitURL = "http://santriodemo.com/handlesubmitqb.asp";

//function to submit form data
function onSubmit() {
    // Create a new LoadVars instance for the form data
    formData = new LoadVars();
    // Initialize send variables:
    formData.fName = "";
    formData.title = "";
    formData.cName = "";
    formData.email = "";
    formData.phone = "";
    formData.ext = "";
    // Gather the order information into a LoadVars instance.
    formData.fName = fName;
    formData.title = title;
    formData.cName = cName;
    formData.email = email;
    formData.phone = phone;
    formData.ext = ext;
    // Create another LoadVars instance to receive the server's reply
    replyData = new LoadVars();
    // Initialize reply variables.
    replyData.currErrorNum = "";
    replyData.errFlag = "";
    // Specify a function to call when the reply is received.
    replyData.onLoad = handleReply;
    // Submit the form data.
    formData.sendAndLoad(submitURL, replyData, "post");     <------- PROBLEM!!!
    // Tell the user what's happening.
    message_txt.text = "loading...";
}

//function to display either a list of errors or a thank you.
function handleReply(success) {
    if (success) {
        var error = new Array();
            error[0] = replyData.error0;
            error[1] = replyData.error1;
            error[2] = replyData.error2;
            error[3] = replyData.error3;
            error[4] = replyData.error4;
            error[5] = replyData.error5;
            error[6] = replyData.error6;
        if (replyData.errFlag == "True") {
            //there were errors; display the list.
            errors.gotoAndStop(2);
            for (k=0; k<replyData.currErrorNum; k++) {
            errors.errorList += (error[k] add "<br>");
            }
        } else {
            //there were no errors; go to thank you page.
            gotoAndStop("thanks");
        }
        message_txt.text = "errFlag: " + replyData.errFlag + newline;
        message_txt.text += "currErrorNum: " + replyData.currErrorNum + newline;
        
        message_txt.text += "fname: " + replyData.fName + newline;
        message_txt.text += "title: " + replyData.title + newline;
        message_txt.text += "cname: " + replyData.cName + newline;
        message_txt.text += "email: " + replyData.email + newline;
        message_txt.text += "phone: " + replyData.phone + newline;
        message_txt.text += "ext: " + replyData.ext + newline;
        
        message_txt.text += "error0: " + replyData.error0 + newline;
        message_txt.text += "error1: " + replyData.error1 + newline;
        message_txt.text += "error2: " + replyData.error2;
    } else {
        message_txt.text = "There was a problem connecting to the server.";
    }
}
